“…It has been extensively modified to allow complete collimator and source modeling and direct manipulation of the geometric and physical parameters encountered in SPECT imaging. 18,265 The simulation package allows full tomographic simulation of data from physically realistic nonuniform and asymmetric 3D source objects. Photon transport in the detector crystal, light pipe and PMT's is not simulated.…”

“…Monte Carlo simulation of radiation transport through matter is a powerful tool used for many diagnostic imaging applications such as positron emission tomography (PET) [1][2][3][4][5][6], single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) [7][8][9], and X-ray computed tomography (CT) [10]. The same tool is also used in therapeutic applications such as dosimetry and radiation therapy planning.…”

“…Energy (keV) collimator scatter and penetration, a computationally tedious task. A few codes that are reported as including photon transport in the collimator have appeared in the literature recently [8][11] [12] [13]. However, we do not believe that a verified and fast code suitable for this work of evaluating quantitative I3*I SPECT with scatter correction using phantom geometries exist at present.…”
