Accelerated GPU based SPECT Monte Carlo simulations.
Monte Carlo (MC) modelling is widely used in the field of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as it is a reliable technique to simulate very high quality scans. This technique provides very accurate modelling of the radiation transport and particle interactions in a heterogeneous medium. Various MC codes exist for nuclear medicine imaging simulations. Recently, new strategies exp...
متن کاملMultiple Reactivity Calculation Using Single Correlated Sampling Monte Carlo Simulation
Correlated sampling technique has been applied to the ssion matrix approach for Monte Carlo eigenvalue calculation of reactivities ((K) due to small cross-section perturbations. The reference Monte Carlo simulation is performed in a system diierent from both the unperturbed and perturbed systems. This allows the determination of multiple Ks due to multiple cross-section perturbations with a sin...
متن کاملStratified sampling and quasi-Monte Carlo simulation
We provide a method for the generation of paths of Lévy processes which has many of the benefits that the Brownian bridge construction has for Brownian motion. We show how, using our method, one can apply stratified sampling and quasi-Monte Carlo methods to obtain better numerical schemes analog to the Brownian case. As a numerical example we consider the problem of pricing an asian option in t...
متن کاملAttenuation Correction in SPECT during Image Reconstruction using an Inverse Monte Carlo Method: A Simulation Study
Introduction: The main goal of SPECT imaging is to determine activity distribution inside the organs of the body. However, due to photon attenuation, it is almost impossible to do a quantitative study. In this paper, we suggest a mathematical relationship between activity distribution and its corresponding projections using a transfer matrix. Monte Carlo simulation was used to find a precise tr...
متن کاملReliable kinetic Monte Carlo simulation based on random set sampling
Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method has been widely used in simulating rare events such as chemical reactions or phase transitions. Yet lack of complete knowledge of transitions and the associated rates is one major challenge for accurate KMC predictions. In this paper, a reliable KMC (R-KMC) mechanism is proposed in which sampling is based on random sets instead of random numbers to improve the r...
