Point kernel based models
❑
Transport primary
o
Kernels determined in water
o
Ray tracing of “energy released- TERMA” have the possibilities to be
done in the medium or scaled water
o
either water or medium
o
An approximation is that only the energy released in the voxel depends
on the medium not the attenuation
❑
Managing the kernel
o
Transporting and depositing energy from the interaction point can be
done either in scaled water or in the medium, thus;
o
or or
