<div class=""><span style="font-size:12.8px" class="">- ImageRegionalizedVolume as
proposed by Maxime. It could be 3-4 times faster in some
cases but it depends on what you are storing during the
simulation. If it is a dose map, take care to the
statistical uncertainties. If you are only interested in
particle outgoing the volume (for imaging for example), it
is safe to use. Of course, the speed up depends on the
voxelized volume (faster if lot of similar material). </span></div>
