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 کاملEvaluation of radiation dose to organs during kilovoltage cone‐beam computed tomography using Monte Carlo simulation
Image-guided techniques for radiation therapy have improved the precision of radiation delivery by sparing normal tissues. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has emerged as a key technique for patient positioning and target localization in radiotherapy. Here, we investigated the imaging radiation dose delivered to radiosensitive organs of a patient during CBCT scan. The 4D extended cardiac-to...
متن کاملEvaluation of X-ray absorbed dose in thyroid during CXR imaging of the chest by Monte Carlo simulation (DOSXYZnrc)
Abstract: Introduction: Chest radiography is one of the most common X-ray imaging procedures performed worldwide. During this process, in addition to the chest, other tissues, including the thyroid, are also exposed to radiation. Due to the fact that one of the most important risk factors for thyroid cancer is ionizing radiation, measuring the absorption of X- rays in the thyroid is of spec...

متن کاملImage Optimization in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography by Hardware Modifications with Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: In Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), the projection data used for image reconstruction are distorted by several factors, including attenuation and scattering of gamma rays, collimator structure, data acquisition method, organ motion, and washout of radiopharmaceuticals. All these make reconstruction of a quantitative SPECT image very difficult. Simulation of a SP...
