Rabbit internal dosimetry for iodine-131 using GATE Monte Carlo simulation code: a preclinical trial

Introduction: One of the main concerns in administration of radiotracers, especially in therapeutic arm, is the amount of delivered dose to the different organs. Individual variations of anatomy, physiology and underlying pathology in the patients lead to alteration of administered activity. In the current study we preclinically applied internal dosimetry using an animal mod...

Data decomposition of Monte Carlo particle transport simulations via tally servers

An algorithm for decomposing large tally data in Monte Carlo particle simulations is proposed, analyzed, and implemented/tested in a production Monte Carlo code, OpenMC. The algorithm relies on disjoint sets of compute processes and servers of which the former simulate particles moving through the geometry and the latter runs in a continuous loop receiving scores from the compute processors and...

Design and Simulation of Photoneutron Source by MCNPX Monte Carlo Code for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

Introduction Electron linear accelerator (LINAC) can be used for neutron production in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). BNCT is an external radiotherapeutic method for the treatment of some cancers. In this study, Varian 2300 C/D LINAC was simulated as an electron accelerator-based photoneutron source to provide a suitable neutron flux for BNCT. Materials and Methods Photoneutron sources w...

MCMC2 : A Monte Carlo code for multiply-charged clusters

We have implemented a Monte Carlo code in reduced units providing structural and thermodynamical properties of multiply-charged Lennard-Jones droplets A N , composed of N individual particles among which n are charged particles, each one carrying a charge qi (qi can be positive or negative). The cluster has a total net charge Q =  i=1,n qi (Q > 0 or Q < 0). The interactions between particles a...
