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 کاملEfficient Monte Carlo simulations for stochastic programming
This paper is concerned with chance constrained programming to deal with nonlinear optimization problems with random parameters. Specific Monte Carlo methods to evaluate the gradient and Hessian of probabilistic constraints are proposed and discussed. These methods are implemented in penalization optimization routines adapted to stochastic optimization. They are shown to reduce the computationa...
متن کاملStratified Splitting for Efficient Monte Carlo Integration
The efficient evaluation of high-dimensional integrals is of importance in both theoretical and practical fields of science, such as Bayesian inference, statistical physics, and machine learning. However, due to the curse of dimensionality, deterministic numerical methods are inefficient in high-dimensional settings. Consequentially, for many practical problems one must resort to Monte Carlo es...
متن کاملFaster Quasi Random Number Generator for Most Monte Carlo Simulations
Generating quasi-random sequences for Monte Carlo simulations has been proved of interest when comparing results with numbers coming from conventional pseudorandom sequences. Despite a fair amount of sound theoretical work on random number generation algorithms, theoretical gain is often eradicated by poor computer implementations. Recently, one of the authors of this paper showed that massive ...
متن کاملOptimization of a SPECT system for imaging of 90Y in liver using Monte Carlo method
Introduction: Acquiring a high quality image has assigned an important concern for obtaining accurate diagnosis in nuclear medicine. Detector and collimator are critical component of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging system for giving accurate information from exact pattern of radionuclide distribution in the target organ. The images are strongly affect...
