Estimated organ dose using the size-specific dose estimates (SSDE) and its comparison with direct measurements
Purpose
The aim of this study is to estimate the organ dose using the size-specific dose estimates (SSDE) in an anthropomorphic phantom and compare the results with direct measurements using a pencil ionization chamber and radio-photo-luminescence dosimeters (RPLDs).
Methods
Organ dose estimation in computed tomography (CT) examination was performed using the SSDE concept. The central SSDE (SSDEc) and peripheral SSDE (SSDEp) were calculated from the weighted SSDE (SSDEw). A dose map was created from SSDEc and SSDEp with interpolation. Organ dose or dose at a specific position was calculated as the average of the dose map within a defined region of interest (ROI). We implemented the algorithm on an anthropomorphic phantom scanned by a Toshiba Alexion™ Access 4-slice CT scanner with both fixed tube current (FTC) and tube current modulation (TCM) modes. A pencil ionization chamber and RPLDs were used to measure the organ dose directly in the anthropomorphic phantom. The Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to assess whether there was any significance difference among the methods.
Results
The organ doses estimated using SSDE were comparable with the direct measurements using a pencil ionization chamber and RPLDs. The organ dose estimation using SSDE in FTC mode exhibits a discrepancy of approximately 4.02 ± 0.04 % and 4.59 ± 0.03 % compared to the direct measurements using the ionization chamber and RPLDs, respectively. The differences in the TCM mode are 5.09 ± 0.03 % and 17.91 ± 0.08 % compared to the direct measurements using an ionization chamber and RPLDs, respectively. The statistical analysis yielded a p-value >0.05, confirming the reliability of the SSDE method for organ dose estimation.
Conclusion
Organ dose estimation using the SSDE method has been successfully validated. The organ dose using SSDE was comparable to those from direct measurements.
期刊介绍:
The journal seeks to publish papers that present advances in the following areas: spontaneous and stimulated luminescence (including scintillating materials, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence); electron spin resonance of natural and synthetic materials; the physics, design and performance of radiation measurements (including computational modelling such as electronic transport simulations); the novel basic aspects of radiation measurement in medical physics. Studies of energy-transfer phenomena, track physics and microdosimetry are also of interest to the journal.
Applications relevant to the journal, particularly where they present novel detection techniques, novel analytical approaches or novel materials, include: personal dosimetry (including dosimetric quantities, active/electronic and passive monitoring techniques for photon, neutron and charged-particle exposures); environmental dosimetry (including methodological advances and predictive models related to radon, but generally excluding local survey results of radon where the main aim is to establish the radiation risk to populations); cosmic and high-energy radiation measurements (including dosimetry, space radiation effects, and single event upsets); dosimetry-based archaeological and Quaternary dating; dosimetry-based approaches to thermochronometry; accident and retrospective dosimetry (including activation detectors), and dosimetry and measurements related to medical applications.
