abstract = {Purpose/Objective: The McMedHacks workshop and presentation series was created to teach individuals from various backgrounds about deep learning (DL) for medical image analysis in May, 2021. Material/Methods: McMedHacks is a free and student-led 8-week summer program. Registration for the event was open to everyone, including a form to survey participants’ area of expertise, country of origin, level of study, and level of programming skills. The weekly workshops were instructed by 8 students and experts assisted by 20 mentors who provided weekly tutorials. Recent developments in DL and medical physics were highlighted by 21 leaders from industry and academia. A virtual grand challenge Hackathon took place at the end of the workshop series. All events were held virtually and recorded on Zoom to accommodate all time zones and locations. The workshops were designed as interactive coding demos and shared through Google Colab notebooks. Results: McMedHacks gained 356 registrations from participants of 38 different countries (Fig. 1) from undergraduates, to PhDs and MDs. A vast number of disciplines and professions were represented, dominated by medical physics students, academic, and clinical medical physicists (Fig. 2). Sixty-nine participants earned a certificate of completion by having engaged with at least 12 of all 14 events. The program received participant feedback average scores of 4.768, 4.478, 4.579, 4.292, 4.84 out of five for the qualities of presentation, workshop session, tutorial and mentor, assignments, and course delivery, respectively. The eight-week long workshop’s duration allowed participants to digest the taught materials in a continuous manner as opposed to bootcamp-style conference workshops. Conclusion: The overwhelming interest and engagement for the McMedHacks workshop series from the Radiation Oncology (RadOnc) community illustrates a demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) education in RadOnc. The future of RadOnc clinics will inevitably integrate AI. Therefore, current RadOnc professionals, and student and resident trainees should be prepared to understand basic AI principles and its applications to troubleshoot, innovate, and collaborate. McMedHacks set an excellent example of promoting open and multidisciplinary education, scientific communication, and leadership for integrating AI education into the RadOnc community on an international level. Therefore, we advocate for implementation of AI curriculums in professional education programs such as Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP). Furthermore, we encourage experts from around the world in the field of AI, or RadOnc, or both, to take initiatives like McMedHacks to collaborate and push forward AI education in their departments and lead practical workshops, regardless of their levels of education.},

Geant4[1] is a Monte Carlo toolkit that provides a flexible platform to design radiation transport simulations. This flexibility requires a high level of complexity when writing new user-codes. New users must undergo extensive training to begin writing useful simulations. The aim of this study was to develop a modular radiation simulation software package called MaRSS based on Geant4 user-code to serve as both an educational tool and as a simulation tool for medical radiation detector simulations.
Materials & Methods
MaRSS builds on Geant4 using Penelope electromagnetic physics models and cross-sections[2]. To give the users possibility to change simulation parameters without changing the source code, MaRSS is equipped with a set of messenger classes which are intercom modules provided by Geant4 to configure applications and provide user interactivity with the code. These messenger classes add additional user commands that can be used to add or remove volumes from the simulation geometry and associated sensitive detectors. The sensitive detectors are objects that Geant4 uses to save simulation results. A number of default volumes and detectors are included in MaRSS that can be used for the design of scintillating fiber-based radiation detectors. MaRSS adds to the existing Geant4 sensitive detector code by creating a new base class called RunSD that is inherited by all sensitive detector objects. RunSD is implemented such that the code needed to initialize a sensitive detector is included in two classes, normally, this code is spread out in several classes. A similar approach is taken with geometrical volumes. To validate MaRSS, range in water of positrons emitted from four radioisotopes commonly used for positron emission tomography was calculated and compared with published work: Fluorine-18 (18F), Carbon-11 (11C), Oxygen-15 (15O) and Gallium-68 (68Ga). A sphere with a radius of 1 m was filed with water. For each radioisotope, 100 million decay events were simulated originating at the center of the simulated water sphere. The resulting positrons were allowed to annihilate. Two energy cuts were simulated, 1 keV and 0.1 keV. Two histograms were created, one using the annihilation locations and another with the energy of the emitted positrons. Results were compared with published positron range values calculated with a PENELOPE[2]-based Monte Carlo software called PeneloPET [3], an analytical expression to estimate the range of positrons described by Cal-Gonzales et.al.[3], a simulation by Lehnert et. al. [4] written using GATE[5] and a separate Monte Carlo software written by Champion and Le Loirec[6] that directly simulates the formation of positronium in water to calculate positron range.
Results
Figure 1 shows the mean calculated positron ranges and calculated positron emission energies compared to literature values. Simulated positron energy means were within 1.8% of literature values. Simulated ranges were within 2% of GATE simulation[4].
