Thyroid volume’s influence on energy deposition from 131I calculated by Monte Carlo (MC) simulation
BACKGROUND It is well known that the success of the radiomethabolic (131)I treatment of hyperthyroidism could depend on the absorbed dose to the thyroid. It is, thus, very important to calculate the individual radiation dose as accurately as possible for different masses of thyroid lobes. The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of thyroid volume on the energy deposition from beta and ...
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 کاملEstimation of Boron Ground State Energy by Monte Carlo Simulation
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method is a powerful computational tool for finding accurate approximation solutions of the quantum many body stationary Schrödinger equations for atoms, molecules, solids and a variety of model systems. Using Variational Monte Carlo method we have calculated the ground state energy of the Boron atom. Our calculations are based on using a modified five parameters trial...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Hyperthermal Physical Vapor Deposition
Low-pressure sputtering and ionized vapor deposition processes create atomic fluxes with kinetic energies in the 1.0–20 eV (and above) range. The impact energy of these hyperthermal atoms significantly effects the surface morphology and structure of vapor deposited films. Recent molecular dynamics simulations of metal atom interactions with a metal surface have established the energy and angula...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of submonolayer vapor-deposition polymerization.
In this paper, we propose a Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial growth of polymer films by considering only monomer surface diffusion in the vapor-deposition polymerization process. In the model, monomers are deposited randomly on a two-dimensional square lattice with periodic boundary conditions and are allowed to diffuse with nearest neighbor hops. Whenever monomers meet, they stop d...
