A comparative study on dispersed doses during photon and proton radiation therapy in pediatric applications

Mehrdad Shahmohammadi Beni et al.

Summary: The Monte Carlo method was used to simulate dose dispersion in pediatric patients during photon and proton radiation therapy, showing that younger patients have larger dispersed doses in non-targeted organs and proton therapy leads to significantly lower dispersion compared to photon therapy.

MCHP (Monte Carlo plus Human Phantom): Platform to facilitate teaching nuclear radiation physics

Mehrdad Shahmohammadi Beni et al.

Summary: The paper proposed an MCHP platform to assist students in understanding nuclear radiation physics concepts through visualization. By simulating interactions between photons and human phantoms, as well as using different thicknesses of concrete and lead shielding, the platform can demonstrate experimental results. The use of graphical visualization snapshots and real-time videos helps readers comprehend the results presented in the experiments.
