Description
At present, NIITFA is developing a new medical device for fast-neutron radiotherapy based on the 14.1 MeV neutron source NG-24[1].
The neutron source NG-24 was simulated in the Topas MC Geant4 environment. The simulation result was compared with the previously obtained result from the MCNP code[2].
A Python console program for running multiple Topas simulations has been developed. The developed program supports the following functions: setting several irradiation fields (SDS, gantry rotation angle), loading the patient's CT and HU-ED curve for Geant4 simulation, viewing the received dose distributions in transverse coronar and siggital projections
