How I built a Medical Radiation Visualizer with Python and Flask

#python #flask #physics #opensource

I’ve been studying medical physics for a while, and I wanted to create something that turns theory into something visual and interactive.
So I decided to build a small web app that shows how X-rays, Gamma rays, and Protons interact with matter.

The project is built with Python and Flask, and it uses simplified physical equations like Klein–Nishina and Bethe–Bloch to simulate photon and particle interactions.
meant for educational use.

You can:

Compare materials like water, bone, and lead.

Generate plots for different energies.

Export results to PDF and Excel.

See how energy, density, and atomic number affect attenuation and dose.

It’s a simple open-source project, but I hope it helps students and researchers visualize the physics they study every day.
Any feedback or suggestions are welcome.
