Influence of patient size on dose to female breast tissue during routine computed tomography scans (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008-04-21)Monte Carlo methods are well suited to the evaluation of radiation transport phenomena. The scalable phantoms employed in this project permitted rapid creation of three models of similar geometry, but different body habitus. ...
