In Silico Nanodosimetry: New Insights into Nontargeted Biological Responses to Radiation
Figure 5
(a) Geant4 visualization of a microbeam cell irradiation simulation, showing a 5 micron beam of 3 MeV alpha particles (blue lines, incident from the right) targeting the cytoplasm (red) and avoiding the nucleus (green). (b) corresponding histogram of ionizations in the cytoplasm per incident particle for incident alphas.
