A GPU implementation of EGSnrc's Monte Carlo photon transport for imaging applications [PDF]
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2011 EGSnrc is a well-known Monte Carlo simulation package for coupled electron-photon transport that is widely used in medical physics application. This paper proposes a parallel implementation of the photon transport mechanism of EGSnrc for graphics processing units (GPUs) using NVIDIA's Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA).
