Monte Carlo simulations are nowadays an essential tool in emission tomography (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography— SPECT and Positron Emission Tomography—PET), for assisting system design and optimizing imaging and processing protocols. Several Monte Carlo simulation software are currently available for modeling SPECT and PET configurations. This paper presents an overview of current tr...

the hydration of biomolecules is vitally important in molecular biology, so in this paper thesolvation energy and radial distribution function of dna bases have been calculated by themonte carlo simulation.the geometries of isolated adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thyminehave been optimized using 6-31+g(d,p) basis function sets. these geometries then will be used inthe monte carlo calculation o...

Background: Monte Carlo (MC) modeling of a linear accelerator is a prerequisite for Monte Carlo dose calculations in external beam radiotherapy. In this study, a simple and efficient model was developed for Elekta SL-25 linear accelerator using MCNP4C Monte Carlo code Materials and methods: The head of Elekta SL-25 linac was simulated for 6 and 18 MV photon beams using MCNP4C MC code. Energ...

In this paper, we deal with the pricing of power options when the dynamics of the risky underling asset follows the double stochastic volatility with double jump model. We prove efficiency of our considered model by fast Fourier transform method, Monte Carlo simulation and numerical results using power call options i.e. Monte Carlo simulation and numerical results show that the fast Fourier tra...

The purpose of bowtie filters in CT scanners is to homogenize the x-ray intensity measured by the detectors in order to improve the image quality and at the same time to reduce the dose to the patient because of the preferential filtering near the periphery of the fan beam. For CT dosimetry, especially for Monte Carlo calculations of organ and tissue absorbed doses to patients, it is important ...

Nowadays, Monte Carlo techniques are very common for the development of Nuclear Medicine systems. Simulations can be very helpful for the optimization of SPECT and PET cameras, and for investigating the importance of several physical effects involved in image formation. In this paper, a simulation study for evaluating various aspects inuencing image formation in detectors for Nuclear Medicine i...
