Limitations on dose estimation.
The process of estimation of dose at a target organ from the measurements of environmental concentration of potentially hazardous agents is theoretically examined. The analysis of the estimation process suggests that the design of any study which aims to find the health effects of an agent or to construct a dose-response relationship from environmental measurements must be fully scrutinized to ...
متن کاملDosimetry limitations and pre-treatment dose profile correction for sliding window IMRT
Background: This work investigated the dosimetry limitations of the random and systematic uncertainties of sliding window (SW) intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Materials and Methods: A Varian 21EX linear accelerator, Pinnacle3 treatment planning system and radiographic film dosimetry was used. The limitations of the SW were studied using beam modulation ranging from 2 to 10...
متن کاملDose estimation for children.
There is a wide perception that the paediatric population has been badly served by pharmaceutical companies, drug regulators and governmental funding bodies, in that too little resource has been committed to developing effective and safe medicines for children, and in particular defining the right dose(s) for appropriate paediatric populations (see for example reference [1]). Paediatricians, cl...
متن کاملFundamental Performance Limitations in Estimation Problems∗
In this paper, we address the performance limitation issues in estimation problems. Our purpose is to explicitly relate the best achievable estimation errors with simple plant characteristics. In particular, we study performance limitations in achieving four objectives: (1) estimating the output of an LTI system from its version corrupted by a white noise, (2) estimating a Brownian motion from ...
متن کاملThorax 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...
