Topas cell model with nanoparticles

Description

These files contain cell models for TOPAS/Geant4 and the inclusion of nano particles in particle scattering simulations. A simple spherical cell with nanoparticles can be generated in a fast way. The user has the option to include the following organelles: nucleus, mitochondria, cell membrane. Additionally, nanoparticles can be included in the cytosol and at the surface of the nucleus and/or the mitochondria. The C++ classes in this repository extend the functionality of the TOPAS (http://www.topasmc.org/) Monte-Carlo program, which is itself a wrapper of the Geant4 MCS Toolkit (http://geant4.org). The sourcecode together with examples and scorers are provided. If you use this extension please cite the following literature: Hahn, M.B., Zutta Villate, J.M., “Combined cell and nanoparticle models for TOPAS to study radiation dose enhancement in cell organelles.” Sci Rep 11, 6721 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-85964-2»
