    Abstract Key points: • Rehani et al provide important insight into the status quo of CT dose and call an urgent attention to the high-dose group receiving over 100 mSv. • It is crucial to clearly understand the calculation algorithm of effective dose behind the CT dose reporting systems and potential uncertainties.

    Abstract The use of iodine S values derived using the International Commission Radiological Protection (ICRP) phantoms may introduce significant bias in internal dosimetry for Koreans due to anatomical variability. In the current study, we produced an extensive dataset of Korean S values for selected five iodine radioisotopes (I-125, I-129, I-131, I-133, and I-134) for use in radiation protection. To calculate S values, we implemented Monte Carlo simulations using the Mesh-type Reference Korean Phantoms (MRKPs), developed in a high-quality/fidelity mesh format. Noticeable differences were observed in S value comparisons between the Korean and ICRP reference phantoms with ratios (Korean/ICRP) widely ranging from 0.16 to 6.2. The majority of S value ratios were lower than the unity in Korean phantoms (interquartile range =0.47-1.28; mean = 0.96; median = 0.69). The S values provided in the current study will be extensively utilized in iodine internal dosimetry for Koreans.

    Abstract Use of radioactive iodine (RAI) for thyroid cancer patients is accompanied by elevated risks of radiation-induced adverse effects due to significant radiation exposure of normal tissues or organs other than the thyroid. The health risk estimation for thyroid cancer patients should thus be preceded by estimating normal tissue doses. Although organ dose estimation for a large cohort often relies on absorbed dose coefficients (i.e. absorbed dose per unit activity administered, mGy MBq

    Abstract We derived the first comprehensive organ dose library for Canadian pediatric and adult patients who underwent computed tomography (CT) scans between 1992 and 2019 to support epidemiological analysis of radiation risk. We calculated organ absorbed doses for Canadian CT patients in two steps. First, we modeled Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) values by patient age, scan body part, and scan year for the scan period between 1992 and 2019 using national survey data conducted in Canada and partially the United Kingdom survey data as surrogates. Second, we converted CTDI values to organ absorbed doses using a library of organ dose conversion coefficients built in an organ dose calculation program, the National Cancer Institute dosimetry system for CT. In result, we created a library of doses delivered to 33 organs and tissues by different patient ages and genders, scan body parts and scan years. In the scan period before 2000, the organs receiving the greatest dose in the head, chest and abdomen-pelvis scans were the active marrow (3.7-15.2 mGy), lungs (54.7-62.8 mGy) and colon (54.9-68.5 mGy), respectively. We observed organ doses reduced by 24% (pediatric head and torso scans, and adult head scans) and 55% (adult torso scans) after 2000. The organ dose library will be used to analyse the risk of radiation exposure from CT scans in the Canadian CT patient cohort.

    Abstract Although a large number of CT scans are being conducted on small animals, especially in Western countries, little is known of absorbed dose from veterinary CT scans. In the current retrospective analytical study, we estimated the radiation dose delivered to dogs from CT scans with various scan protocols and compared the results with those of human patients. We adopted a total of three computerized canine models with three sizes combined with a computer simulation model of a CT scanner. The eyes of the dog model received the greatest dose, 1.10 mGy/mGy, in the head scan, followed by a brain dose of 0.85 mGy/mGy. In the chest, abdomen-pelvis (AP), chest-abdomen-pelvis, and head-chest-abdomen-pelvis scans, the heart wall (0.93 mGy/mGy), ovaries (0.99 mGy/mGy), lungs (1.12 mGy/mGy), and thyroid (1.23 mGy/mGy) received the greatest organ doses, respectively. The smallest dog model received up to 1.4-fold greater organ doses than the largest dog in both the chest and AP scans. Overall, the medium-size canine model received organ doses comparable to those of the 1-year-old child model in the head scan, the 5-year-old child in chest scan, and the 10-year-old child in AP scan. The organ dose conversion factors derived from this study should help evaluate absorbed dose for canine patients undergoing CT exams.
