monte carlo method is a very accurate method to optimize medical diagnostic radiology spectra and simulation of radiation transportation. using mcnp code, radiology and mammography attenuated x-rayspectraweresimulated.the ipem report number 78 was used as a reference to compare with the geant4 and mcnp simulations because of its popularity and wide availability. the results of geant4 in 40kev s...

background x-ray, is one of the oldest, and yet the most widely used form of medical photographing. x-ray is a valuable tool to diagnose and examine many diseases such as arthritis, spinal injuries, pneumonia, bronchitis and even cancer. running a quality control program of the radiology devices can reduce the absorbed dose in the patients. the aim of this study is to take the quality control t...
