Monte Carlo simulation of SNR with energy information
In this post, I continue the discussion of my paper “Near optimal energy selective x-ray imaging system performance with simple detectors”, which is available for free download here. I will describe a Monte Carlo simulation of the SNR with energy information discussed in my last post. The simulation traces the paths of individual photons. This is, perhaps, more fundamental than my previous simulations that relied on statistical models for the detector data. I develop models for the random path lengths and use them to simulate the imaging task for SNR described in my last post. The model is validated by comparing the energy spectrum of photons transmitted through an object to the theoretical formula. I also provide an estimate of the errors in the Monte Carlo results.
