Fast Integral Methods for Volumetric Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the development and implementation of volumetric integral equations for both dielectric and magnetically permeable materials using curvilinear hexahedral elements. Both piecewise constant and higher order basis functions will be examined in the context of volumetric multilevel fast multipole method implementation. Comparisons with corresponding finite element– boundary integral solutions will also be presented and compared in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

Dosimetric influence of Flattening Filter (FF) and Flattening Filter Free (FFF) 6 and 10 MV photon beams on Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) planning in case of prostate carcinoma
Background: In the treatment of prostate cancer, radiotherapy is the potential to increase second primary cancers such as bladder and rectal cancers. The reasons for this potential are more monitor units (MUs), therefore a larger total body dose because of leakage radiation, a bigger volume of normal tissue is exposed to lower radiation doses. This study was designed to compare the integral dos...

متن کاملFast System Matrix Calculation in CT Iterative Reconstruction
Introduction: Iterative reconstruction techniques provide better image quality and have the potential for reconstructions with lower imaging dose than classical methods in computed tomography (CT). However, the computational speed is major concern for these iterative techniques. The system matrix calculation during the forward- and back projection is one of the most time- cons...
متن کاملNumerical solution of general nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equations using Chebyshev approximation
A numerical method for solving nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equations of general type is presented. This method is based on replacement of unknown function by truncated series of well known Chebyshev expansion of functions. The quadrature formulas which we use to calculate integral terms have been imated by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). This is a grate advantage of this method which has...
متن کاملA Fast and Accurate Expansion-Iterative Method for Solving Second Kind Volterra Integral Equations
This article proposes a fast and accurate expansion-iterative method for solving second kind linear Volterra integral equations. The method is based on a special representation of vector forms of triangular functions (TFs) and their operational matrix of integration. By using this approach, solving the integral equation reduces to solve a recurrence relation. The approximate solution of integra...
