To develop a slice-specific CT organ dose library using Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations on a set of newborn, infant, and toddler (NIT) computational phantoms containing newly developed age-specific skeletal tissue models. This dose library forms t...
To develop tetrahedral mesh-type phantoms of the female and male beagle dog and perform Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport simulations to compute specific absorbed fractions (SAFs) for monoenergetic photons, electrons and alpha particles. These canine phant...
The Gamma-Emitter Contamination Assessment Tool (GECAT) is a software application designed to perform in-field radiological triage. The application relies on detector count rate efficiency data generated by performing Monte Carlo radiation transport on digita...
The skeleton is of particular concern in radiation dosimetry, because it contains key target tissues for radiogenic cancers, including red bone marrow (RBM), associated with leukemia risk. However, skeletal dosimetry remains challenging due to the complex mic...
In preclinical studies, animal models are widely used to estimate absorbed doses following the administration of radiopharmaceuticals. Mice are the most commonly used models; however, their small body size can lead to biased dose estimates when translating mo...
