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 …

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 …

Tomographie reconstruction for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with
simultaneous compensation for attenuation, scatter, and distance dependent collimator …

Inverse Monte Carlo (IMOC) is presented as a unified reconstruction algorithm for Emission
Computed Tomography (ECT) providing simultaneous compensation for scatter, attenuation …

Radiation therapy is a truly multidisciplinary field where the developments have taken place
gradually and almost coherently in many different areas. This is fortunate because a cliain is …

Abstract In the Earth Sciences, the 3D radiative transfer equation is often solved for by Monte
Carlo (MC) methods. They can, however, be computationally taxing, and that can narrow …

Most thermal radiation problems are analyzed in a “forward” manner, in which the aim is to
predict the response of a system based on well-defined boundary conditions. In practice …

An analysis is presented for the solution of the inverse radiation problem using a Monte
Carlo technique. For inhomogeneous planar media, the profile of the single scattering …

Radiation Detection: Concepts, Methods, and Devices provides a modern overview of
radiation detection devices and radiation measurement methods. The book topics have …
