Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiology
  • Computational Science

Background:

  • Radiation dermatitis is a significant concern in interventional radiology (IR).
  • Accurate and rapid patient skin dose estimation is crucial for minimizing this risk.
  • Current methods may lack the speed or precision required for real-time clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a rapid and accurate patient skin dose estimation technique for IR procedures.
  • To leverage Monte Carlo (MC) simulation accelerated by graphical processing units (GPUs) for dose calculation.
  • To improve the safety of IR procedures by enabling better radiation dose management.

Main Methods:

  • Patient-specific computed tomography (CT) datasets were segmented (air, water, bone) for simulation.
  • Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, accelerated by a GPU (Nvidia GTX 1080), was employed for dose distribution.
  • Fluoroscopic conditions were derived from examination log files.
  • The simulated dose was calibrated against measurements from radiophotoluminescence (RPL) glass dosimeters in a phantom using a linear function.

Main Results:

  • The GPU-accelerated MC system achieved simulation times within 3.49 seconds for a chest CT dataset.
  • The GPU was 122 times faster than a conventional CPU.
  • Differences in maximum skin dose compared to the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) were within 6.1%.
  • The relative statistical error (2 σ) of the simulated dose was ≤3.5%.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed GPU-accelerated MC simulation technique provides rapid and accurate patient skin dose estimation.
  • This method offers a significant speed improvement over traditional CPU-based simulations.
  • The system holds promise for enhancing radiation safety in interventional radiology by enabling timely and precise dose assessment.
