Release Notes

  • Updated all the NuGet packages
  • Added ROfFxAndAngle, FluenceOfXAndYAndZAndTime and pMCROfXAndY detectors, unit tests and added code to load_results_script.m and loadMCResults.m to process them
  • Added ability for the photon to start with weight other than 1
  • Added fluorescence source capability based on the absorbed energy generated from a prior run. This included FluorescentEmissionAOfXAndYAndZSource, AOfXAndYAndZLoader and ability to specify whether the photon is a) UNIF: started uniformly throughout absorbed energy region of tissue with weight equal to absorbed energy in that region, or b) CDF: started spatially according to a cumulative distribution function determined from the absorbed energy map of the fluorescent region and weight 1. Verified both methods provide statistically equivalent results.
  • Excised code to determine if a photon ray intersects an infinite cylinder so that it could be used for cylinders with orientations along any axis
  • Added ability to define bounding tissue region that creates a lateral border around tissue and related detector to tally total absorbed energy in that bounding volume, ATotalBoundingVolumeDetector. Added CaplessCylinderTissueRegion to help in definition of bounding tissue region.
  • Renamed TallyDetails IsDosimetryTally to IsInternalSurfaceTally to be more generalized
  • Added unit tests for reflectance results that are a function of wavelength and two other independent variables, e.g. rho, time, fx, ft, so that it is clear how to unpack the single dimensioned return
  • In load_results_script.m, found a bug in the calculation of total fluence and total radiance for those detectors that have theta angle dependence. Now total fluence/radiance for all fluence/radiance detectors calculate the same value.
