Development and implementation of a Monte Carlo frame work for evaluation of patient specific out- of - field organ equivalent dose

Background: The aim of this study was to develop and implement a Monte Carlo framework for evaluation of patient specific out-of-field organ equivalent dose (OED). Materials and Methods: Dose calculations were performed using a Monte Carlo-based model of Oncor linac and tomographic phantoms. Monte Carlo simulations were performed using EGSnrc user codes. Dose measurements were performed using r...

Fluence-to-Dose Conversion Coefficients for Muons and Pions Calculated Based on ICRP Publication 103 Using the PHITS Code

The fluence to effective-dose and organ-absorbed-dose conversion coefficients for charged pions and muons were calculated based on the instructions given in ICRP Publication 103. For the calculation, the particle motions in the ICRP/ICRU adult reference computational phantoms were simulated using the PHITS code for four idealized irradiation geometries as well as those closely representing the ...

Evaluation of Radiation Doses and Dose Conversion Coefficients for Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization Procedures

Pediatric cardiac catheterization covers both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that range from simple to complex and can subject pediatric patients to varying radiation doses. There is limited information on radiation doses delivered by pediatric cardiac catheterization procedures and there is no recommended reference dose levels established yet. The study aims to determine the variation i...
