Abstract:
A modified version of MCNP5 has been developed to treat continuous-energy proton transport. This work is summarised in companion papers by Hughes et al. and Bull et al. (in these proceedings). An intrinsic part of this development effort has involved testing, verification and validation of a capability for simulating proton radiographs. This paper presents the results of calculations simulating various different test objects and the effects of alternative physics models. The significant physics processes include elastic scattering, multiple coulomb scattering, collisional energy-loss and straggling, magnetic fields and attenuation owing to nuclear interactions. Comparisons with experimental data are presented.

Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
