Dear FLUKA Experts,
I am currently working on simulating radionuclide distribution within a phantom based on the DigiMouse model. The model comprises 22 distinct organs, and I aim to define the relative radionuclide distribution individually for each organ.
To achieve this, I am referencing the methodology described in this paper, where it is noted:
“In this case, the radioisotope density map of the mouse is directly used as a source in FLUKA, converting the PET DICOM files.”
I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the following:
- How can this process be implemented in FLUKA? I have not encountered an explicit option for this in the DICOM or PET tabs.
- Alternatively, is it possible to modify the
source.f
ornew_source.f
routines to create a source definition based on material? For example, could a point within a voxel be randomly sampled with the emission probability determined by the assigned material?
Thank you kindly in advance,
Hen
