18F-FDG PET in pregnancy and fetal radiation dose estimates.
UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to estimate the fetal radiation exposure resulting from (18)F-FDG PET procedures performed in pregnant patients with malignancies. METHODS Five pregnant patients with a biopsy-proven diagnosis of malignancy who underwent (18)F-FDG PET studies were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent PET-only studies (and not PET/CT studies) with a reduced ...
متن کاملTwo Dedicated Software, Voxel-based, Anthropomorphic (torso and Head) Phantoms
We have segmented CT torso+head and MRI head slices of two living human males. The manually segmented 129 x-ray CT transverse slices were used to create a computerized 3dimensional volume array modeling all major internal structures of the body. The original xray CT images were reconstructed in a 512x512 matrix with a resolution of 1 millimeter in the x,y plane. The z-axis resolution is 1 centi...
متن کاملAnthropomorphic breast phantoms for quality assurance and dose verification
An evaluation of two anthropomorphic breast phantoms, which have been designed for quality assurance and dose verification of radiotherapy treatment of breast cancer patients, is presented. These phantoms are identical in terms of their dimensions and shape, and composed of several layers of either Plastic Water or tissue-equivalent material. Both water- and tissue-equivalent phantoms include l...
متن کاملApplication of GEANT4 radiation transport toolkit to dose calculations in anthropomorphic phantoms.
In this paper, we present a novel implementation of a dose calculation application, based on the GEANT4 Monte Carlo toolkit. Validation studies were performed with an homogeneous water phantom and an Alderson-Rando anthropomorphic phantom both irradiated with high-energy photon beams produced by a clinical linear accelerator. As input, this tool requires computer tomography images for automatic...
متن کاملVoxel-based mouse and rat models for internal dose calculations.
UNLABELLED The ability to estimate absorbed doses in experimental animals to which radiolabeled material has been administered may be important in explaining and controlling potential radiation toxicity observed during preclinical trials. Most previously reported models for establishing doses to small animals have been stylized and mathematically based. This study establishes dose factors for i...
