Monte Carlo simulations are nowadays an essential tool in emission tomography (Single-
Photon Emission Computed Tomography—SPECT and Positron Emission Tomography …

Monte Carlo (MC) methods can accurately simulate scatter in X-ray imaging. However, when
low noise scatter projections have to be simulated these MC simulations tend to be very time …

Currently, x-ray mammography is the method of choice in breast cancer screening
programmes. As the mammography technology moves from 2D imaging modalities to 3D …

We describe a newly developed, accelerated Monte Carlo simulator of a small animal micro-
CT scanner. Transmission measurements using aluminium slabs are employed to estimate …

Monte Carlo simulations of digital images of the contrast detail phantom and the ACR
phantom are presented for two different x‐ray digital mammography modalities: a …

Magnification, which is considered to be a relatively high" dose cost" mammographic
technique, is a complementary examination performed on women exhibiting breast …

Magnification views are a common way to perform a secondary examination when
suspicious abnormalities are found in a screening mammogram. The visibility of …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare and validate three methods to simulate
radiographic image detectors with the Monte Carlo software mcnp/mcnpx in a time efficient …

A simulation model of mammographic x-ray sources with finite size has been developed.
The model is based on Monte Carlo methods and it takes into account the electron …

Mammography is the technique with the highest sensitivity and specificity, for the early
detection of nonpalpable lesions associated with breast cancer. As screening …
