A Comparison Between GATE and Accelerated Convolution-Based Forced Detection SIMIND for Low- and Medium-Energy Collimators: A Simulation Study
Abstract
Monte Carlo is an important and well established research tool used in emission tomography. While used extensively in research applications, these techniques are not typically implemented clinically due to their low detection efficiency and long acquisition times. In order to make this computational tool faster, the variance reduction technique known as convolution-based forced detection (CFD) has been implemented into the SIMIND MC code …
