Hardware Acceleration of a Monte Carlo Simulation for Photodynamic Therapy Treatment Planning

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are widely used in the field of medical biophysics, particularly for modelling light propagation in biological tissue. The iterative nature of MC simulations and their high computation time currently limit their use to solving the forward solution for a given set of sour...
