PARaDIM: A PHITS-Based Monte Carlo Tool for Internal Dosimetry with Tetrahedral Mesh Computational Phantoms

Mesh-type and voxel-based computational phantoms comprise the current state of the art for internal dose assessment via Monte Carlo simulations but excel in different aspects, with mesh-type phantoms offering advantages over their voxel counterparts in terms of their flexibility and realistic representation of detailed patient- or subject-specific anatomy. We have developed PARaDIM (pronounced "paradigm": Particle and Heavy Ion Transport Code...
