Obtaining patient-specific dose estimates in nuclear medicine studies
Abstract
A Monte Carlo-based image reconstruction algorithm for SPECT has previously been developed utilizing an accelerated version of the SIMIND Monte Carlo program incorporating convolution-based forced detection. This program has been extended to also provide estimates of patient specific radiation dose by storing energy deposition information inside the object as part of the simulation process. Simulations have been performed with both simple and …
