Organ Dose Measurement in Computed Tomography Using Thermoluminescence Dosimeter in Locally Developed Phantoms
Introduction: Organ dose estimation using thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) is known to be a standard, although many other methods, such as simulation software, optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters, and photodiodes are still in use. This study aimed at directly measuring mean organ doses to the selected organs in the head/neck, chest, and abdominal regions from four computed tomography ...
متن کاملEstimating breast thickness for dual-energy subtraction in contrast-enhanced digital mammography using calibration phantoms
Dual-energy contrast-enhanced digital mammography (DE CE-DM) uses an iodinated contrast agent to image the perfusion and vasculature of the breast. DE images are obtained by a weighted logarithmic subtraction of the high-energy (HE) and low-energy (LE) image pairs. We hypothesized that the optimal DE subtraction weighting factor is thicknessdependent, and developed a method for determining brea...
متن کاملElectron Beam Dosimetry in Heterogeneous Phantoms Using a MAGIC Normoxic Polymer Gel
Introduction: Nowadays radiosensitive polymer gels are used as a reliable dosimetry tool for verification of 3D dose distributions. Special characteristics of these dosimeters have made them useful for verification of complex dose distributions in clinical situations. The aim of this work was to evaluate the capability of a normoxic polymer gel to determine electron dose distributions in differ...
متن کاملDynamic digital phantoms
The construction parameters and the composition of phantoms are strictly specified. Hence comparing the results from repeated imaging of a phantom with different imaging parameters allows isolation of the effect of the varied parameter. With this knowledge one can assign settings for optimum imaging of that particular phantom. Ideally the phantom would be exactly the same for every scan to allo...
متن کاملSeparate modal analysis for tumor detection with a digital image elasto tomography (DIET) breast cancer screening system.
PURPOSE It is estimated that every year, 1 × 10(6) women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 410,000 die annually worldwide. Digital Image Elasto Tomography (DIET) is a new noninvasive breast cancer screening modality that induces mechanical vibrations in the breast and images its surface motion with digital cameras to detect changes in stiffness. This research develops a new automa...
