Abstract :
We have been developing a visualization tool for Geant4-based medical physics applications. Geant4 is successfully adapted to radiotherapy, PET and MRT. However, its graphics systems are not suitable for displaying a complex patient data and a dose distribution. In this paper, we describe our visualization tool that supports displaying complex data acquired through the simulation.
