Organ dose conversion coefficients in CT scans for Korean adult males and females
Choonsik Lee,Tristan Won,염연수,Keith Griffin,Choonik Lee,김광표 한국원자력학회 2022 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.54 No.2
Dose monitoring in CT patients requires accurate dose estimation but most of the CT dose calculationtools are based on Caucasian computational phantoms. We established a library of organ dose conversioncoefficients for Korean adults by using four Korean adult male and two female voxel phantoms combinedwith Monte Carlo simulation techniques. We calculated organ dose conversion coefficients for head,chest, abdomen and pelvis, and chest-abdomen-pelvis scans, and compared the results with the existingdata calculated from Caucasian phantoms. We derived representative organ doses for Korean adultsusing Korean CT dose surveys combined with the dose conversion coefficients. The organ dose conversion coefficients from the Korean adult phantoms were slightly greater than those of the ICRP referencephantoms: up to 13% for the brain doses in head scans and up to 10% for the dose to the small intestinewall in abdominal scans. We derived Korean representative doses to major organs in head, chest, and APscans using mean CTDIvol values extracted from the Korean nationwide surveys conducted in 2008 and2017. The Korean-specific organ dose conversion coefficients should be useful to readily estimate organabsorbed doses for Korean adult male and female patients undergoing CT scans

Background: Dose conversion coefficients (DCCs) have been commonly used to estimate radiation-dose absorption by human organs based on physical measurements of fluence or kerma. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has reported a library of DCCs, but few studies have been conducted on their applicability to non-Caucasian populations. In the present study, we collected a total of 8 Korean pediatric and adult voxel phantoms to calculate the organ DCCs for idealized external photon-irradiation geometries. Materials and Methods: We adopted one pediatric female phantom (ETRI Child), two adult female phantoms (KORWOMAN and HDRK Female), and five adult male phantoms (KORMAN, ETRI Man, KTMAN1, KTMAN2, and HDRK Man). A general-purpose Monte Carlo radiation transport code, MCNPX2.7 (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport extended version 2.7), was employed to calculate the DCCs for 13 major radiosensitive organs in six irradiation geometries (anteroposterior, posteroanterior, right lateral, left lateral, rotational, and isotropic) and 33 photon energy bins (0.01-20 MeV). Results and Discussion: The DCCs for major radiosensitive organs (e.g., lungs and colon) in anteroposterior geometry agreed reasonably well across the 8 Korean phantoms, whereas those for deep-seated organs (e.g., gonads) varied significantly. The DCCs of the child phantom were greater than those of the adult phantoms. A comparison with the ICRP Publication 116 data showed reasonable agreements with the Korean phantom-based data. The variations in organ DCCs were well explained using the distribution of organ depths from the phantom surface. Conclusion: A library of dose conversion coefficients for major radiosensitive organs in a series of pediatric and adult Korean voxel phantoms was established and compared with the reference data from the ICRP. This comparison showed that our Korean phantom-based data agrees reasonably with the ICRP reference data.
