PARaDIM: A PHITS-Based Monte Carlo Tool for Internal Dosimetry with Tetrahedral Mesh Computational Phantoms

Conclusion: PARaDIM extends the use of Monte Carlo dose calculations to the broader community in nuclear medicine by providing a user-friendly graphical user interface for calculation setup and execution. PARaDIM leverages the enhanced anatomic realism provided by advanced computational reference phantoms or bespoke image-derived phantoms to enable improved assessments of radiation doses in a variety of radiopharmaceutical use cases, research, and preclinical development.
