Reconstructive extremity dosimetry with 3D scanned hand model in MCNPX

In this study, a polygon model is tetrahedralized by TetGen for the construction of the MCNPX geometry to be distortion-free. Then, dose estimation was successfully performed after converting the virtual model into an MCNPX input. A voxelized model was constructed for comparison purposes. The dose estimation functions of the two models were found to be similar, showing a similar amount of computing time by using the mesh tally option with 2e7 histories.
