Abstract The GATE Monte Carlo simulation platform based on the GEANT4 toolkit has come
into widespread use for simulating positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon …

This article presents a revised voxel S values (VSVs) approach for dosimetry in targeted
radiotherapy, allowing dose calculation for any voxel size and shape of a given SPECT or …

Underlying characteristics in brachytherapy dosimetry parameters for medical
radionuclides,,,, and were examined using Monte Carlo methods. Sources were modeled as …

Modeling the radio-induced effects in biological medium still requires accurate physics
models to describe the interactions induced by all the charged particles present in the …

A Fano cavity test was performed for four general-purpose Monte Carlo codes, EGSnrc,
PENELOPE, MCNP6 and Geant4 to evaluate the accuracy of their electron transport …

A simple geometry is chosen to highlight similarities and differences of current electron
transport algorithms implemented in four Monte Carlo codes commonly used in radiation …

The absence of electronic equilibrium in the vicinity of bone-tissue or air-tissue
heterogeneity in the head can misrepresent deposited dose with treatment planning …

Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) and beta-emitting seeds brachytherapy (BSBT) exploit
the characteristics of energy deposited by beta-emitting radionuclides. Monte Carlo (MC) …

Since the publication of AAPM Task Group 60 report in 1999, a considerable amount of
dosimetry data for the three coronary brachytherapy systems in use in the United States has …

Point kernels describe the energy deposited at a certain distance from an isotropic point
source and are useful for nuclear medicine dosimetry. They can be used for absorbed-dose …
