of the absorbed

and effective doses are now done with computers. The calculations are performed

with the help of anthropomorphic computational models of human body called phantoms

and Monte Carlo codes (MCNP). There are various types...

Introduction

Tissue mimicking phantoms are used in optical imaging and for spectroscopic studies

because they allow to perform experiments with arbitrary an well known optical properties

under controllable conditions...

of such biological structures and processes and to study them and their influence on the signal independently and under controlled conjoint conditions. This is possible with a physical phantom.

Objective

Creation of a physical phantom, which allows...

According to the daily lives of the rays (used in industry,medicine, power generation,etc.) access to the best ways dosimetry becomes very important. Ionizing radiation have adverse biological effects on the cells.To ...

Due to fetal radiosensitivity, the estimation of internal dose received by fetus from radiopharmaceuticals incorporated to the mother is often important in nuclear medicine. A new 9-month pregnant phantom based on magnetic resonance (MR) images tied...

The Monte Carlo simulation code, FLUKA version 2011.2c.5, has been used to estimate the in–phantom dosimetric parameters for use in BNCT studies. The in–phantom parameters of a typical Snyder head, which are necessary information prior to any...

Computational phantom(three dimension computer models of human body) are essential in estimating organ doses from various occupational radiation exposures and medical procedures. Mathematical phantoms use mathematical equations to describe...

This paper presents boundary representation (BREP) models of pregnant female and her fetus at the end of each trimester. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) female reference voxel phantom was used as a base template...

The organ doses from administration of Iodine-131, Iodine-123 sodium Iodide was calculated for the reference voxel phantoms by using the Monte Carlo transport method. Besides, the dose distribution in the body was obtained in 3D contour plots...

In this paper, a series of computational phantoms (males and females) were developed based on computed tomography (CT) images of a healthy Iranian population. The Monte Carlo calculation method was then used to estimate organ doses...
