Development and validation of an open source Monte Carlo dosimetry model for wide-beam CT scanners using Fluka.

CONCLUSION: A Fluka-based Monte Carlo simulation model of axial and helical acquisition techniques using a wide-beam collimation CT scanner demonstrated good agreement between measured and simulated results for both fixed current and TCM in complex and simple geometries. Code and dataset will be made available at https://github.com/chezhia/FLUKA_CT.
