Radiation-induced double-strand breaks by internal ex vivo irradiation of lymphocytes: Validation of a Monte Carlo simulation model using GATE and Geant4-DNA
18 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
This study describes a method to validate a radiation transport model that quantifies the number of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) produced in the lymphocyte nucleus by internal ex vivo irradiation of whole blood with the radionuclides 90Y, 99mTc, 123I, 131I, 177Lu, 223Ra, and 225Ac in a test vial using the GATE/Geant4 code at the macroscopic level and the Geant4-DNA code at the microscopic level. The simulation...
