[mcxtrace-users] Simulation of a-Se detector in McXtrace 1.6

[Peter Kjær Willendrup]

Dear Jesus,


Thank you for the email.

The W_psd detector simply estimates the “local dosage in watts”, with no other attempts to model a physical detector. It is simply not sophisticated enough / intended for such use.

Since McXtrace can only deal with photons, I would recommend to turn to e.g. Geant4 or another multi-particle, multi-energy-scale Monte Carlo if you need a realistic model of your detector.

Best,

Peter

Hi to all.

I am using McXtrace v1.6 to simulate a mamography image of a PMMA phantom.

I would like to ask for some ideas/insights on how to simulate the reading of the amorphous Selenium detector present in the real mammography machine. (As realistic as it can gets).

I have been using a W_psd_detector, but the simulation results are not that close to the results obtained from the real image.

Greetings from Colombia.
