0. Introduction.
|
|
|
|
Brachytherapy example simulates energy deposition on a voxel grid
|
|
for a MicroSelectron Ir-192 HDR brachytherapy source.
|
|
|
|
1. Technical description
|
|
|
|
1.0. MicroSelectron HDR Ir-192 source is constructed in the
|
|
brachyDetectorConstruction class. The source is composed by
|
|
an iridium core encapsulated in a stainless steel capsule
|
|
(body + tip). The source is put into a 30*cm water box.
|
|
|
|
1.1. The water box is made sensitive detector. A longitudinal slice
|
|
of it is associated to a planar read out geometry. At every hit
|
|
energy deposition is read and stored into a voxel matrix.
|
|
|
|
1.2. Voxel matrix is output to an ASCII file for further processing
|
|
(e.g. anysotropy and isodose calculations).
|
|
|
|
2. Make
|
|
|
|
A standard Geant4 example GNUmakefile is provided.
|
|
|
|
2. Usage
|
|
|
|
Simply run "Brachy" executable. The ASCII "Brachy.out" file is
|
|
produced.
