Purpose Respiratory motion during positron emission tomography (PET) scans can be a major detriment to image quality in oncological imaging. The impact of on lesion quantification and detectability assessed using phantoms with realistic anatomy representation modeling. In this work, we develop an anthropomorphic phantom for PET imaging that combines anatomic fidelity breathing mechanism deforma...

Total skin electron irradiation (TSEI) is a complex technique which requires many nonstandard measurements and dosimetric procedures. The purpose of this work was to validate measured dosimetry data by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations using EGSnrc-based codes (BEAMnrc and DOSXYZnrc). Our MC simulations consisted of two major steps. In the first step, the incident electron beam parameters (energy sp...
