开发了基于Python的自定义Monte Carlo Simulation Tool（PMST），以帮助开发便携式伽马相机或生成模拟伽马图像数据集，例如用于深度学习。仿真工具已通过理论和实验结果之间的比较进行了验证。PMST包括常见的衰减相互作用，如光电效应和康普顿和瑞利散射以及荧光和非辐射二次效应。它允许用户模拟和可视化具有多个吸收体、灵活几何形状和不同材料的伽马成像系统。
A custom Python-based Monte Carlo Simulation Tool (PMST) has been developed to assist in the development of portable gamma cameras or the generation of simulated gamma image datasets, e.g. for deep learning. The simulation tool has been validated by comparison between theoretical and experimental results. PMST includes common attenuation interactions such as the photoelectric effect and Compton and Rayleigh scattering and fluorescence and non-radiative secondary effects. It allows users to simulate and visualise a gamma imaging system with multiple absorbers, flexible geometry, and different materials.
