  2. European Collaboration • CERN, CNAO (Italy), Med-Austron (Austria), HIT (Germany)

  3. Types of Therapy • Internal: brachytherapy, injection • External: X-rays, Protons, Light ions

  4. Imaging • Gamma camera • SPECT • CT • PET

  5. Treatment plan simulations • Monte Carlo simulations • FLUKA/flair • External radiation Project Goals • Simple case: 131-idodine treatment of thyroid cancer • Kinetics • Coding and calculating dose distributions (2D -> 3D ->Monte Carlo) • Voxels • Patient data Current Goals

  6. Project Goals • Treatment plan simulations • Monte Carlo simulations • FLUKA/flair • External radiation

  7. Project Goals • Treatment plan simulations • Monte Carlo simulations • FLUKA/flair • External radiation
