Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Computational Biology
  • Radiological Protection

Background:

  • ICRP Publication 110 provides voxel-type reference computational phantoms (VRCPs).
  • ICRP Task Group 103 developed new mesh-type reference computational phantoms (MRCPs) from VRCPs, offering greater flexibility.
  • Existing phantoms may not accurately represent diverse body sizes for dose assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a comprehensive body-size-dependent phantom library by modifying MRCPs.
  • To create a library encompassing a wide range of adult male and female body sizes representative of Caucasian and Asian populations.
  • To enable more accurate individual dose estimates in retrospective dosimetry.

Main Methods:

  • Converted VRCPs to high-fidelity MRCPs.
  • Developed a body-size-dependent phantom library with 108 male and 104 female phantoms by modifying MRCPs.
  • Utilized an in-house program for automatic phantom adjustment based on anthropometric data.

Main Results:

  • Organ/tissue doses showed significant differences based on phantom height and weight.
  • For male phantoms, doses increased with height at lower photon energies (<0.1 MeV).
  • For female phantoms, doses decreased with weight at lower photon energies (<10 MeV) but increased at higher energies.

Conclusions:

  • The body-size-dependent phantom library improves the accuracy of individual dose estimates.
  • Accounting for individual body size is crucial for retrospective dosimetry studies.
  • This library provides a valuable tool for more precise radiological protection assessments.
