Patient-specific phantoms versus reference phantoms: a preliminary comparison on organs dose distribution

Discrepancies between ICRP phantoms and real patients lead to disparities on patient-dose estimations. This paper aims to compare distribution of dose in organs of male/female individualized-phantoms and ICRP reference phantoms. The absorbed dose estimation was performed using the EGSnrc Monte Carl...
