Assessment 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 کاملOptimum binary cut-off threshold of a diagnostic test: comparison of different methods using Monte Carlo technique
BACKGROUND Using Monte Carlo simulations, we compare different methods (maximizing Youden index, maximizing mutual information, and logistic regression) for their ability to determine optimum binary cut-off thresholds for a ratio-scaled diagnostic test variable. Special attention is given to the stability and precision of the results in dependence on the distributional characteristics as well a...
متن کاملOff-lattice Monte Carlo simulation of supramolecular polymer architectures.
We introduce an efficient, scalable Monte Carlo algorithm to simulate cross-linked architectures of freely jointed and discrete wormlike chains. Bond movement is based on the discrete tractrix construction, which effects conformational changes that exactly preserve fixed-length constraints of all bonds. The algorithm reproduces known end-to-end distance distributions for simple, analytically tr...
متن کاملBremsstrahlung imaging from the liver using the Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction: Most beta and gamma radiation radioisotopes used for treatment are not suitable for imaging. The bremsstrahlung images on a conventional gamma camera helped to localize the radionuclide within and outside of the lesion. Secondary scattering of gamma rays of higher energy and bremsstrahlung causes contamination in the energy window and reducing the contrast and resolution of the im...
متن کاملOptimum cut-off point of the Japanese short version of the effort-reward imbalance questionnaire.
OBJECTIVES The theoretical threshold (effort-reward ratio >1.0) may not be ideal for the Japanese short version of the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) questionnaire. We aimed to seek the optimum cut-off point. METHODS We administered the original and short versions of the ERI questionnaire with a psychological distress scale to randomly selected workers (n=1,489) in a web-based survey. We evalu...
