Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely studied and applied in the field of tumor
diagnosis and treatment because of their special fundamental properties. In order to make …

The author's main purpose is to review the techniques and applications of the Monte Carlo
method in medical radiation physics since Raeside's review article in 1976. Emphasis is …

Manual segmentation of 129 x‐ray CT transverse slices of a living male human has been
done and a computerized 3‐dimensional volume array modeling all major internal structures …

A new method is proposed to subtract the count of scattered photons from that acquired with
a photopeak window at each pixel in each planar image of single-photon emission …

There is a need for mathematical modelling for the evaluation of important parameters for
photon imaging systems. A Monte Carlo program which simulates medical imaging nuclear …

SPECT images are degraded by the inclusion of Compton-scattered photons within the
pulse-height window. Phantom and patient studies with Tc-99m were used to evaluate a …

Monte Carlo techniques have become popular in different areas of medical physics with
advantage of powerful computing systems. In particular, they have been extensively applied …

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) allows the three-dimensional
visualization of radioactivity within the human body and is widely used for clinical purposes …

Compton Scatter Compensation Using the Dual-Isotope SPECT Page 1 ciple, our method is
similarto that proposed by Koral et al. (11). Their method employs the acquisition of spatially …

Contrast agents used in clinics often exhibit the following pharmacokinetics: rapid diffusion
(short distribution half-life t1/2α), relatively long blood circulation time (long elimination half …
