Modelling Radiation Transport in Voxel Geometries with the Monte Carlo Code Mcnpx
Numerical methods for the simulation of radiation transport, in particular Monte Carlo techniques, are playing a fundamental role in the field of dosimetry for radiation protection. For the last 30 years or so, reference quantities have been since about 30 years calculated relying on mathematical analytical human phantoms representative of the standard man. These calculations, in large part bas...
متن کاملAssessment of secondary particles in breast proton therapy by Monte Carlo simulation code using MCNPX
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the equivalent dose in vital organs, including heart and lung, due to secondary particles produced during breast proton therapy. Materials and Methods: The numerical ORNL female-phantom was improved and simulated using the Monte Carlo MCNPX code. The depth-dose profile of proton beams with different energies was simulated. The proper energy ran...
متن کاملInvestigation of penetration depth of 63Ni beta spectrum in silicon by Monte Carlo method and using MCNPX code
In this study, the energy spectrum of beta-nickel 63 is considered as the total energy spectrum, average energy of the spectrum, and maximum spectral energy for analyzing the penetration depth of silicon. Monte Carlo calculations were carried out using a MCNPX code in a given geometry; in the following, Stopping-Power for electrons with different energies in silicon was calculated using the EST...
متن کاملApplication of MCNP4C Monte Carlo code in radiation dosimetry in heterogeneous phantom
Background: In treating patients with radiation, the degree of accuracy for the delivery of tumor dose is recommended to be within ± 5% by ICRU in report 24. The experimental studies have shown that the presence of low-density inhomogeneity in areas such as the lung can lead to a greater than 30% change in the water dose data. Therefore, inhomogeneity corrections should be used in treatment pla...
متن کاملDesigned free-lead composite shields for diagnostic medicine radiation fields by using MCNPX code
Introduction: Nowadays, applications of free-lead radiation shields are increased specially for weighting factor and toxicity of lead elements. Although touching the lead may be results in the nervousand blood system of body, it is not exactly proven yet. Protective measures are the fundamental parts of radiation protection. On the other hand, high weighting factor of lead sh...
