Thorax organ dose estimation in computed tomography based on patient CT data using Monte Carlo simulation
Background: This study presents patient specific and organ dose estimation in computed tomography (CT) imaging of thorax directly from patient CT image using Monte Carlo simulation. Patient's CT image is considered as the patient specific phantom and the best representative of patient physical index in order to calculate specific organ dose. Materials and Methods: EGSnrc /BEAMnr...
متن کاملAutomatic Synthesis of Anthropomorphic Pulmonary CT Phantoms
The great density and structural complexity of pulmonary vessels and airways impose limitations on the generation of accurate reference standards, which are critical in training and in the validation of image processing methods for features such as pulmonary vessel segmentation or artery-vein (AV) separations. The design of synthetic computed tomography (CT) images of the lung could overcome th...
متن کاملHuman organ absorbed dose estimation of 166Ho-BPAMD complex based on biodistribution data of male Syrian rats
Introduction: Recently, 166Ho-BPAMD was introduced as a suitable agent for bone marrow ablation. The aim of this study was to estimate the absorbed dose of this novel agent in the human organs which is necessary before the clinical application. Methods: 166Ho was produced by direct irradiation of 165Ho in the research reactor. 250 µg...
متن کاملOptimization of Parameters in 16-slice CT-scan Protocols for Reduction of the Absorbed Dose
Introduction In computed tomography (CT) technology, an optimal radiation dose can be achieved via changing radiation parameters such as mA, pitch factor, rotation time and tube voltage (kVp) for diagnostic images. Materials and Methods In this study, the brain, abdomen, and thorax scaning was performed using Toshiba 16-slice scannerand standard AAPM and CTDI phantoms. AAPM phantom was used for...
