Radiology and mammography standard X-ray spectra simulated with the Monte Carlo method

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2021
Six standard beams described in the TRS-457 (IAEA): RQR 5, 8, M1, M2, M3, M4 were simulated using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo code. Each spectrum was created by an X-ray tube simulated in BEAMnrc, and attenuation curves were obtained using the application ...

The dosimetric effect of photon target degradation on C-series linear accelerators using Monte Carlo simulation. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Appl Clin Med Phys
Abstract Background The impact of beam dosimetry changes brought on by target degradation has not been well investigated. Purpose To determine the optimal dosimetry metrics for detecting target degradation and to investigate the impact of beam dosimetry changes brought on by target degradation. Methods The EGSnrc Monte Carlo programs were used to model

Monte Carlo analysis of energy deposition and X-ray fluence in cylindrical anode systems. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Appl Clin Med Phys
Abstract Background Cylindrical anode X‐ray systems are increasingly used in multisource imaging; however, electron beam interactions with the curved anodes cause geometric distortions that alter energy deposition and X‐ray emission. Understanding these effects is key to optimizing system performance.
