Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiological Sciences
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Realistic digital phantoms are crucial for accurate internal and external radiation dose calculations.
  • Previous work established NURBS-based phantoms for rodents, necessitating canine models for broader applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop realistic digital whole-body phantoms of adult male and female beagles.
  • To calculate specific absorbed fractions (SAFs) for photon and electron radiation in 24 organs for these canine models.
  • To facilitate improved radiation dosimetry calculations in beagle dogs.

Main Methods:

  • Acquisition and segmentation of CT images from adult male and female beagles.
  • Conversion of segmented images into NURBS surfaces and polygon meshes, followed by voxelization.
  • Implementation of voxelized models in GEANT4 for calculating photon and electron SAFs.
  • Development of dose factors (DFs) using SAFs and standardized decay data via the RADAR Method.

Main Results:

  • Creation of two detailed voxelized beagle dog phantoms (male and female).
  • Calculation of photon and electron SAFs for 24 organs, showing compatibility with existing data.
  • Observation of significant electron cross-irradiation between organs at higher energies.
  • Generation of dose factors for use in radiation dose calculations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed beagle dog phantoms are valuable tools for radiation dosimetry.
  • These models enable more accurate dose assessments for internal and external radiation sources in canine research.
  • The calculated SAFs and DFs support advancements in radiological safety and research involving beagles.
