    This document provides instructions for a nuclear medicine application simulation using FLUKA. It outlines requirements such as importing a DICOM CT image to define a voxel geometry, specifying an isotope source shaped as a spherical volume, activating radioactive decays in semi-analogue mode, and defining Cartesian scoring of absorbed energy using the same dimensions as the patient CT scan but with 256 bins for each axis. The aim is to run 5 cycles with 100,000 primaries each to simulate particle transport and dose deposition.
