| ON THE COVER
In this paired-image radiation transport (PIRT) model for the right proximal femur of a 66-y-old man, the macrostructural model (obtained by ex vivo CT) is at top right and 3-dimensional NMR microscopy images are at bottom middle and right. For each tissue source region, 2 different transport simulations are performed—one in which electrons are started within the spongiosa of the femoral head (orange voxels) and one in which electrons are started within the spongiosa of the femoral neck (red voxels). Only the corresponding NMR microscopy image is used within the PIRT model (head or neck microimage). Final absorbed fractions for the entire proximal femur are taken as mass-weighted averages of results from the head-only and neck-only spongiosa source transport calculations.
