Radium-223 dichloride (Ra-223), an alpha emitter used in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, has shown positive results in extending patient survival. However, the current practice of uniform Ra-223 activity administration based solely on patient weight can lead to suboptimal treatment outcomes. Treatment efficacy evaluation involves quantifying activity and absorbed dose through image quality analysis, revealing potential areas for optimization. This work introduces an innovative approach that integrates a deep learning-based model for automated segmentation of the Jaszczak ACR phantom—a tool for image quality analysis in nuclear medicine—with Monte Carlo simulation for dosimetry. The model exhibits efficient segmentation, surpassing 83.7 % in class-wise Dice coefficients, offering a time-efficient alternative to manual segmentation.
