The Geant4 is a Monte Carlo simulation toolkit employed for reliable dose calculations in medical physics. However, Geant4 requires C++ user-code developments according to the simulation purposes. Therefore, it is not easy to apply Geant4 for medical physics research, especially for Geant4 beginners. To facilitate the use of Geant4, we have developed Galet-Med, an Geant4 based application templet software for medical physics, by referencing on the simulation codes of PTSIM (Geant4 based Particle Therapy Simulation Framework) that were developed particularly for particle therapy facilities. The Galet-Med is intended for laboratory research, providing interfaces for description of material, geometry, and scoring for minimizing coding efforts while maintaining C++ implementation compatibility. For example, the geometries are imported in a voxelated visualization toolkit format, and the geometry description markup language format, as well as from C++ coded descriptions. This paper presents the use of Galet-Med for several use-cases in medical physics applications.
