Abstract: Geant4 is a software toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. It is used by a large number of experiments and projects in a variety of application domains, including high energy physics, astrophysics and space science, medical physics and radiation protection. Its functionality and modeling capabilities continue to be extended, while its performance is enhanced. An overview of recent developments in diverse areas of the toolkit is presented. These include performance optimization for complex setups; improvements for the propagation in fields; new options for event biasing; and additions and improvements in geometry, physics processes and interactive capabilities

TL;DR: The authors compare the Fourier algorithm and a search algorithm using a simulated phantom to speed the search algorithm by using fewer interactions leaves decreased resolution in the region just inside the skull which could mask a subdural hematoma.
Abstract: The Fourier reconstruction may be viewed simply in the spatial domain as the sum of each line integral times a weighting function of the distance from the line to the point of reconstruction A modified weighting function simultaneously achieves accuracy, simplicity, low computation time, as well as low sensitivity to noise Using a simulated phantom, the authors compare the Fourier algorithm and a search algorithm The search algorithm required 12 iterations to obtain a reconstruction of accuracy and resolution comparable to that of the Fourier reconstruction, and was more sensitive to noise To speed the search algorithm by using fewer interactions leaves decreased resolution in the region just inside the skull which could mask a subdural hematoma

TL;DR: The method for attenuation correction in RCT is applied a simple, effective two-step procedure to the uncorrected image, and the filtered back-projection algorithm is used for its fast speed.
Abstract: The development of algorithms for Radionuclide Computed Tomography (RCT) is complicated by the presence of attenuation of gamma-rays inside the body. Some of the existing RCT reconstruction algorithms apply approximation formulas to the projection data for attenuation correction, while others take attenuation into account through some iterative procedures. The drawbacks of these algorithms are that the approximation formulas commonly used are generally inadequate and the iterative procedures are usually very time-consuming. The method for attenuation correction in RCT, which we propose, applied a simple, effective two-step procedure to the uncorrected image. In this procedure the filtered back-projection algorithm is used for its fast speed. A simple mathematical basis and description of the procedure together with some illustrative computer results are given in this paper.

TL;DR: Physical mechanisms responsible for nondestructive single-event effects in digital microelectronics are reviewed, concentrating on silicon MOS devices and integrated circuits as discussed by the authors, and the impact of technology trends on single event susceptibility and future areas of concern are explored.
Abstract: Physical mechanisms responsible for nondestructive single-event effects in digital microelectronics are reviewed, concentrating on silicon MOS devices and integrated circuits. A brief historical overview of single-event effects in space and terrestrial systems is given, and upset mechanisms in dynamic random access memories, static random access memories, and combinational logic are detailed. Techniques for mitigating single-event upset are described, as well as methods for predicting device and circuit single-event response using computer simulations. The impact of technology trends on single-event susceptibility and future areas of concern are explored.
