Optimization of Head CT Protocol to Reduce the Absorbed Dose in Eye Lenses and Thyroid: A Phantom Study
Introduction: Utilization of computed tomography (CT) scans is increasing annually. This study aimed to reduce the absorbed dose of sensitive organs in the head (eye lenses and thyroid) and to assess changes in resultant images quality in head scans when the radiation dose is decreased. Material and Methods: An anthropomorphic phantom was examined with head protocols in both helical and sectio...
متن کاملAbsorbed dose calculations in a brachytherapy pelvic phantom using the Monte Carlo method
Monte Carlo calculations of the absorbed dose at various points of a brachytherapy anthropomorphic phantom are presented. The phantom walls and internal structures are made of polymethylmethacrylate and its external shape was taken from a female Alderson phantom. A complete Fletcher-Green type applicator with the uterine tandem was fixed at the bottom of the phantom reproducing a typical geomet...
متن کاملassessment of absorbed dose in critical organs in opg: a phantom study
orthopantomography is a well-established imaging technique in dental diagnosis. although its exposure to individuals is relatively low compared to other diagnostic radiology examinations, it is still the most frequent x-ray examination. so it is important to estimate absorbed dose to critical organs in this examination. the present study was designed to determine the radiation doses to eyes, pa...
متن کاملEstimation of fetal absorbed dose from low-dose attenuation-correction CT in PET / CT imaging by using the Body Builder Phantom
One of the methods of studying the physiology and metabolism of important tissues such as the heart, brain and cancer tumors is the use of PET/CT System. A small number of patients are pregnant women who undergo a PET/CT scan due to lack of knowledge about pregnancy or due to dire clinical need. The final dose received by the fetus is based on three factors: the absorbed dose of the fetal tissu...
متن کاملTracking Study of 200 MeV Protons within a PMMA Phantom
This paper describes an experiment that determined the position, and its associated uncertainty, of a proton at three different depths inside of a polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) absorber. These observed positions prove the fact that one can predict the most likely path (MLP) of a proton moving through a uniform medium, as long as the displacement and angle of that proton are known at the absorb...
