Specific examples for medical physics applications are demonstarted in this directory.

This example serves first to convert a DICOM file to a simple ASCII file, where the Hounsfield numbers are converted to materials and densities so that it can be used by GEANT4. It serves also to create a GEANT4 geometry based on the DICOM file information using the G4PhantomParameterisation.

This example demonstrates how to reuse the DICOM example library for another application.

dna

Set of examples using the Geant4-DNA physics processes and models.

electronScattering
electronScattering2

These example demonstrate electron scattering benchmarks. ElectronScattering2 simulates the experiment with a minimum of user code, whereas the other version of this example shows how to do more of the work directly as the user.

fanoCavity

This example computes the dose deposited in an ionization chamber by a monoenergetic photon beam.

fanoCavity2

This example computes the dose deposited in an ionization chamber by an extended (one dimensional) monoenergetic electron source. This variante of the Fano cavity test make use of an reciprocity theorem.

GammaTherapy

This example demonstrates a gamma therapy application.

radiobiology

An application realized for dosimetric and radiobiological applications of proton and ion beams.
