Handbook of Anatomical Models for Radiation Dosimetry| Publisher: Taylor & Francis 2009-09-01 | 757 Pages | ISBN: 1420059793 | PDF | 15 MB
In the past 40 years, the radiological science community has developed and applied numerous models of the human body for radiation protection, diagnostic imaging, and nuclear medicine therapy. The Handbook of Anatomical Models for Radiation Dosimetry provides a comprehensive review of the development and application of these computational models, known as phantoms.

Assembling the work of nearly all major phantom developers around the world, this volume examines:
* The history of the research and development in computational phantoms
* Detailed accounts for each of the well-known phantoms, including the MIRD-5, GSF Voxel Family Phantoms, NCAT, UF Hybrid Pediatric Phantoms, VIP-Man, and the latest ICRP Reference Phantoms
* Physical phantoms for experimental radiation dosimetry
* Applications for radiation protection dosimetry involving environmental, nuclear power plant, and internal contamination exposures
* Medical applications, including nuclear medicine therapy, CT examinations, x-ray radiological image optimization, nuclear medicine imaging, external photon and proton treatments, and management of respiration in modern image-guided radiation treatment
* Patient-specific phantoms used for radiation treatment planning
* Future needs for research and development
