Introduction SPECT projections are contaminated by scatter radiation, resulting in reduced image contrast and quantitative errors. Backscatter constitutes a major part of the scatter contamination in lower energy windows. The current study is an evaluation of the effect of backscatter material on FWHM and image quality investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. Materials and Methods SIMIND program...

Introduction: Myocardial perfusion SPECTby 99mTc-Sestamibi and 99mTc-Tetrofosmin radiopharmaceuticals usually presents a false significant increase in the radiotracer uptake in the inferior myocardium due to the uptake in organs such as liver, bowel, stomach and biliary system. The present study evaluated a suitable Slit angle for differentiating extra-car...

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are extensively used for various purposes in modern high-energy physics (HEP) experiments. Precision measurements of established Standard Model processes or searches new often require the collection vast amounts data. It is difficult to produce MC samples containing an adequate number events allow a meaningful comparison with data, as substantial computing resources...

The aim was the validation of a platform for internal dosimetry, named MCID, based on patient-specific images and direct Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, radioembolization liver tumors with 90Y-labeled microspheres. CT real patients were used to create voxelized phantoms different density activity maps. SPECT acquisitions simulated by SIMIND MC code. Input macros GATE/Geant4 code generated loading...

The determination of gyration radius is a strong research for configuration of a Macromolecule. Italso reflects molecular compactness shape. In this work, to characterize the behavior of theprotein, we observe quantities such as the radius of gyration and the average energy. We studiedthe changes of these factors as a function of temperature for Acetylcholine receptor protein in gasphase with n...
