Wide Range

The Monte Carlo algorithm has been extensively used for photon transport simulations in medical imaging to assists doctors in Photodynamic Therapy for treatment of wide range of medical conditions including varieties of cancer by eliciting phototoxicity in cells. Previously this was done using static 2 Dimensional models on traditional CPUs. With the advent of GPU Computing further work was done to extend this model by separating the PRNG.

Good Agreement

AbstractTransport of gamma photons in many fields such as radiation detection, dosimetry, and treatment planning is used. The transport of 1 MeV and 5 MeV photons in a water phantom was simulated by using the Monte Carlo algorithm in Matlab work space. The result of KERMA calculation showed good agreement with Arqueros and Montesinos [American Journal of Physics 71 (2003), no. 1, 38–45], and MCNP4C. The proposed algorithm has ability to read out from different cross section libraries. As the future work, it also can be extend for the electron and visible photon transport.
