Dosimetric Impact of a New Computational Voxel Phantom Series for the Japanese Atomic Bomb Survivors: Pregnant Females

Radiation Research, 2019
An important cohort of the atomic bomb survivors are women who were pregnant when exposed to the photon and neutron fields at both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as their children who were exposed in utero. Estimates of organ dose to the developing fetus allow for the development of dose-dependent and gestational age-dependent models of deterministic (

161 DEVELOPING COMPUTATIONAL METHODS TO VIEW DISTRIBUTIONS OF SECOND CANCER RISK USING MONTE CARLO AND VOXEL HUMAN PHANTOMS

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2012
Purpose: Carcinoma-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) are major components of solid malignancies and play central roles in cancer sustainability. In this study we have investigated the invasive capacity and matrix remodelling properties of human lung CAFs after exposure to ablative doses of ionizing radiation (IR), corresponding to fractions delivered by ...

Dosimetric Impact of a New Computational Voxel Phantom Series for the Japanese Atomic Bomb Survivors: Methodological Improvements and Organ Dose Response Functions

Radiation Research, 2020
Owing to recent advances in computational dosimetry tools, an update is warranted for the dosimetry system for atomic bomb survivors that was established by the Joint U.S.Japan Working Group on the Reassessment of Atomic Bomb Dosimetry in 2002 (DS02). The DS02 system, and its predecessor, DS86, at the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF), are ...

Physical quality evaluation of voxel values in cone-beam computed tomography for dental use: three-dimensional fluctuation of voxel values in uniform materials placed inside a phantom

Oral Radiology, 2014
Objectives The aim of this study was to reveal the three-dimensional fluctuation of voxel values in a uniform material placed inside a phantom simulating a human head when it was scanned with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for dental use.

A Voxel Phantom Based Monte Carlo Computer Program for Optimisation of Chest and Lumbar Spine X Ray Imaging Systems

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2000
A Monte Carlo computer model of X ray imaging systems has been developed which uses a voxel phantom to simulate the patient. Image details were selected in accordance with the European quality criteria document. Contrast and signal-to-noise ratio for these details were calculated to estimate image quality.

Entrance surface dose distribution and organ dose assessment for cone-beam computed tomography using measurements and Monte Carlo simulations with voxel phantoms

Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2017
Abstract Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) enables high-resolution volumetric scanning of the bone and soft tissue anatomy under investigation at the treatment accelerator. This technique is extensively used in Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) for pre-treatment verification of patient position and target volume localization.

SU‐E‐I‐02: A Framework to Perform Batch Simulations of Computational Voxel Phantoms to Study Organ Doses in Computed Tomography Using a Commercial Monte Carlo Software Package

Medical Physics, 2014
Purpose:ImpactMC (CT Imaging, Erlangen, Germany) is a Monte Carlo (MC) software package that offers a GPU enabled, user definable and validated method for 3D dose distribution calculations for radiography and Computed Tomography (CT). ImpactMC, in and of itself, offers limited capabilities to perform batch simulations.

IMPACT ON 141Ce, 144Ce, 95Zr, AND 90Sr BETA EMITTER DOSE COEFFICIENTS OF PHOTON AND ELECTRON SAFS CALCULATED WITH ICRP/ICRU REFERENCE ADULT VOXEL COMPUTATIONAL PHANTOMS

Health Physics, 2010
The current dose coefficients for internal dose assessment of occupationally exposed persons and the general public were derived using the methodology of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), which is similar to the Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD)-type methodology.

SU‐E‐CAMPUS‐I‐02: Estimation of the Dosimetric Error Caused by the Voxelization of Hybrid Computational Phantoms Using Triangle Mesh‐Based Monte Carlo Transport

Medical Physics, 2014
Purpose:Computational voxel phantom provides realistic anatomy but the voxel structure may result in dosimetric error compared to real anatomy composed of perfect surface. We analyzed the dosimetric error caused from the voxel structure in hybrid computational phantoms by comparing the voxel‐based doses at different resolutions with triangle mesh‐based

SU‐GG‐T‐408: Validation of a Novel Dose Calculation Approach for Heterogeneous Voxelized Phantoms in a Parallel Computation Environment Using Electron Dose Kernels for Radiotherapy

Medical Physics, 2010
Purpose Here we present a rapid whole body dose estimation approach applied to a clinical water phantom and whole body CT‐voxelized phantom, using electron dose kernels coupled with deterministic photon transport. This method yields fast, accurate whole body doses.
