This special report aims to inform the medical community about the many challenges
involved in managing radiation exposure in a way that maximizes the benefit-risk ratio. The …

Voxel phantoms are human models based on computed tomographic or magnetic
resonance images obtained from high-resolution scans of a single individual. They consist …

Phantoms, devices that represent the human body, have been used in medical physics and
health physics since the beginning. Soon after the discovery of X-rays, news of the medical …

Abstract The MAX (Male Adult voXel) phantom has been developed from existing
segmented images of a male adult body, in order to achieve a representation as close as …

This paper describes the construction of an adult male voxel model named” Golem” 1 (1 In
Jewish tradition, Golem (Hebrew: shapeless matter) means an artificial human being …

Extensive calculations of specific absorbed fractions (SAFs) for monoenergetic photon
sources were performed using a Monte Carlo photon transport code together with seven …

For the forthcoming update of organ dose conversion coefficients, the International
Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) will use voxel-based computational …

The S values for 11 major target organs for I-131 in the thyroid were compared for three
classes of adult computational human phantoms: stylized, voxel and hybrid phantoms. In …

Abstract The International Commission on Radiological Protection intends to revise the
organ and tissue equivalent dose conversion coefficients published in various reports. For …

There is a need to calculate specific absorbed fractions (SAFs) in voxel phantoms for
internal dosimetry. For this purpose, an EGS4 user code for calculating SAFs using voxel …
