Combination of MCNP and SimSET for Monte Carlo Simulation of SPECT With Medium- and High-Energy Photons
Abstract
Monte Carlo (MC) simulation has become an important tool for characterizing and evaluating imaging systems and reconstruction algorithms. In this work, we combined two MC codes—Monte Carlo N-particle transport code system (MCNP) and simulation system for emission tomography (SimSET)—using the advantages of each to produce a simulation tool that is efficient enough to generate single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) data. The new …
