Monte Carlo reference data sets for imaging research: Executive summary of the report of AAPM Research Committee Task Group 195
Sechopoulos I, Ali E, Badal A, Badano A, Boone J, Kyprianou I, et al.
Med Phys . 2015 Oct; 42(10):5679-91. PMID: 26429242
The use of Monte Carlo simulations in diagnostic medical imaging research is widespread due to its flexibility and ability to estimate quantities that are challenging to measure empirically. However, any...

The feasibility of patient size-corrected, scanner-independent organ dose estimates for abdominal CT exams
Turner A, Zhang D, Khatonabadi M, Zankl M, DeMarco J, Cagnon C, et al.
Med Phys . 2011 Apr; 38(2):820-9. PMID: 21452719
Purpose: A recent work has demonstrated the feasibility of estimating the dose to individual organs from multidetector CT exams using patient-specific, scanner-independent CTDIvol-to-organ-dose conversion coefficients. However, the previous study only...

The feasibility of a scanner-independent technique to estimate organ dose from MDCT scans: using CTDIvol to account for differences between scanners
Turner A, Zankl M, DeMarco J, Cagnon C, Zhang D, Angel E, et al.
Med Phys . 2010 May; 37(4):1816-25. PMID: 20443504
Purpose: Monte Carlo radiation transport techniques have made it possible to accurately estimate the radiation dose to radiosensitive organs in patient models from scans performed with modern multidetector row computed...

Reducing radiation dose to selected organs by selecting the tube start angle in MDCT helical scans: a Monte Carlo based study
Zhang D, Zankl M, DeMarco J, Cagnon C, Angel E, Turner A, et al.
Med Phys . 2010 Jan; 36(12):5654-64. PMID: 20095278
Purpose: Previous work has demonstrated that there are significant dose variations with a sinusoidal pattern on the peripheral of a CTDI 32 cm phantom or on the surface of an...

Variability of surface and center position radiation dose in MDCT: Monte Carlo simulations using CTDI and anthropomorphic phantoms
Zhang D, Savandi A, DeMarco J, Cagnon C, Angel E, Turner A, et al.
Med Phys . 2009 Apr; 36(3):1025-38. PMID: 19378763
The larger coverage afforded by wider z-axis beams in multidetector CT (MDCT) creates larger cone angles and greater beam divergence, which results in substantial surface dose variation for helical and...
