Code validationSIMIND Septal penetration fractionMonte CarloThe use of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in nuclear medicine is on the rise due to its usefulness in modelling many physical phenomena which are difficult or impossible to measure. To use MC for gamma......
In nuclear medicine, hand-held nuclear activity devices, such as a gamma probe or a beta probe, are capable of detecting the uptake of injected tumor-seeking radiopharmaceuticals. Gamma probes, for example, are used in parathyroid and sentinel lymph node surgery. The gamma probes provide an audi...
