Monte Carlo (MC) simulation codes are used extensively for modeling the nuclear medicine imaging systems, such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). By using these codes, it is possible to set different imaging parameters and do various studies in the field of nuclear medicine imaging.
