X-ray tubes for medical applications typically generate x-rays by accelerating electrons,
emitted from a cathode, with an interelectrode electric field, towards an anode target. X-rays …

Ceramic materials are being explored as alternatives to toxic lead sheets for radiation
shielding due to their favorable properties like durability, thermal stability, and aesthetic …

Background In radiation therapy with orthovoltage units, the tube design has a crucial effect
on its dosimetric features. Aim In this study, the effect of anode angle on photon beam …

In radiology, the photon fluence and the energy spectrum generated from an x-ray tube may
depend on the anode tilt angle. In this contribution, a Monte Carlo investigation is performed …

Purpose: The Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is widely used to design and test complex
physical phenomena. This paper presents a simulator of x‐ray detector for imaging …

ABSTRACT The Monte Carlo simulation of particle transport and interaction in matter finds
growing applications in medical radiation physics. Dosimetric applications in radiation …

This thesis reports on the characterisation of two modules of the MARS spectral CT system:
