We describe a method for independently verifying the dose distributions from pre- and post-implant brachytherapy source distributions. Monte Carlo calculations have been performed to characterize the three-dimensional dose distribution in water phantom from a low-energy brachytherapy source. The calculations are performed in a voxelized, Cartesian coordinate geometry and normalized based upon a...

Geant4 Application for Emission Tomography (GATE) is a widely used, well-validated and very versatile application for Monte Carlo simulations in emission tomography. However, its computational performance is poor, especially for voxelized phantoms, partly due to the use of a very general particle tracking algorithm. In this work, two methods are proposed to reduce the time spent on particle tra...

We present a real-time subsurface scattering simulation to perform real-time rendering of translucent particle-based fluids. After particle-based fluid simulation, we immediately build voxelized fluids, called Voronoi fluids, with particle locations and neighbour lists using GPUs. And then, we perform a multiple subsurface scattering simulation over the Voronoi fluids with the diffusion equatio...

In this paper, we present a single-pass technique to voxelize the interior of watertight 3D models with high resolution grids in realtime during a single rendering pass. Further, we develop a filtering algorithm to build a density estimate that allows the deduction of normals from the voxelized model. This is achieved via a dense packing of information using bitwise arithmetic. We demonstrate t...

background: the purpose of this study is to fabricate inexpensive in-house low cost homogeneous and heterogeneous human equivalent thorax phantom and assess the dose accuracy of the treatment planning systems (tps) calculated values for different lung treatment dosimetery. it is compared with thermoluminescent dosimeter (tld) measurement. materials and methods: homogeneous and heterogeneous tho...

Point cloud compression is an essential task for practical applications using point clouds. Most of the previous approaches rely on octree which involves voxelization in coding itself. Distortions derived from can be reduced without increasing bitrate by postprocessing. In this article, we propose a super-resolution method decoded voxelized as postprocessing step geometry compression. The propo...

background: this study assessed the clinical usefulness of the solid phantom, which may compensate for the disadvantages of the water phantom, by comparing the radiological doses between the two depending on their depths. materials and methods: the experimental equipment used was a linear accelerator for medical use, water phantom, solid phantom, farmer type ion chamber and electrometer. the di...

Introduction: In nuclear medicine, the use of a pixelated semiconductor detector such as CZT is an of growing interest for introducing new devices. Especially, the spatial resolution can be improved by using a pixelated parallel-hole collimator with equal holes and pixel sizes based on the pixelated detector. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of pixelated and ...
