TL;DR: This paper presents the most recent review of the Geant4-DNA extension, as available to Geant 4 users since June 2015 (release 10.2 Beta), and includes the description of new physical models for thedescription of electron elastic and inelastic interactions in liquid water, as well as new examples dedicated to the simulation of physicochemical and chemical stages of water radiolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
ALGEBRA: ALgorithm for the heterogeneous dosimetry based on GEANT4 for BRAchytherapy
H. Afsharpour,Guillaume Landry,M D'Amours,Shirin A. Enger,Brigitte Reniers,E Poon,Jean-François Carrier,Frank Verhaegen,Luc Beaulieu +8 more
TL;DR: ALGEBRA is a Monte Carlo platform for dosimetry in brachytherapy which is sufficiently fast and accurate for clinical and research purposes and is capable of handling the DICOM RT standard to recreate a virtual model of the treated site.
Journal ArticleDOI
A guide to 90Y radioembolization and its dosimetry.
TL;DR: This review provides a methodical guide that presents the treatment rationale behind every clinical step in radioembolization and the emerging dosimetry methods and its factors are discussed to provide a comprehensive review on an essential research direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
An algorithm for efficient metal artifact reductions in permanent seed implants
TL;DR: The test results obtained using raw helical CT data for both phantom and clinical cases have demonstrated that the proposed MAR method is capable of accurately detecting and correcting artifacts caused by a large number of very small metal objects (seeds) in sinogram space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-fire doses from β-emitting radionuclides in targeted radiotherapy. A theoretical study based on experimentally measured tumor characteristics
TL;DR: High-energy beta-particles may, in spite of a low self-dose to single clusters, still be favorable to use due to the contribution of inter-cluster cross-fire radiation.
