The phantoms used in standardized dose assessment are based on a median (ie, 50th
percentile) individual of a large population, for example, adult males or females or children …

A systematic evaluation has been performed to study how specific absorbed fractions (SAFs)
vary with changes in adult body size, for persons of different size but normal body stature …

Purpose: To estimate the increase in effective radiation dose from diagnostic x-rays for
overweight and obese adult patients, as compared with the effective dose for lean reference …

Although it is known that obesity has a profound effect on x-ray computed tomography (CT)
image quality and patient organ dose, quantitative data describing this relationship are not …

Internal radiation dose estimates for diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures are typically
calculated for a reference individual. Resultantly, there is uncertainty when determining the …

calculation of absorbed or equivalent dose to radiosensitive organs and tissues of the …

Purpose Rats are widely used in biomedical research involving molecular imaging and
therefore the radiation dose to animals has become a concern. The weight of laboratory …

In internal dosimetry for both nuclear medicine and radiation protection, the adult
morphology is represented by a limited number of anthropomorphic models that may not be …
