摘要：
Geant4 is a toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. While Geant4 was originally developed for High Energy Physics, applications now include Nuclear, Space and Medical Physics. Medical applications include characterizing machines and sources, calculating dose and the development of imaging technology. This paper surveys Geant4 medical applications in North America, explains why users choose Geant4 and discusses the challenges of bringing Geant4 to this community.
