Hi Alex, Thank you for your contribution! In the end, we were able to verify everything we needed. In medical dosimetry simulations, it is essential to assess whether the material is being properly accounted for in the dose calculation performed by the code. Through a series of tests, we...

Hello everyone, I would like to start a technical discussion about the TMESH tally in MCNP versions 6.2 and 6.3. From my studies, TMESH is similar to +F6, tied to a mesh, and its results are given in terms of MeV/cm³. I wanted to know if there is any way (a multiplier or conversion factor) to...

Thank you, Alex! I was able to obtain the dose using TMESH, but I am still facing the issue with considering the different materials. Since TMESH accounts for the dose in MeV/cm³, it does not take into account the influence of the different tissue densities, which is a problem in my...

Hi Alex... The issue is that I actually need to create the dose map for the tibia, which passes through the defect (tumor), the trabecular bone, and finally the cortical bone. For this, I am using the Fmesh4 tally, as I need to calculate the dose at various points along the tibia's dimension...

Hello everyone, I am facing difficulties while trying to calculate the dose in the tibia due to brachytherapy in an MCNP simulation. We are working with the radionuclide Ho-166, and therefore, we need to account for both photon and electron contributions to the deposited dose. Initially, I...
