It is generally accepted that children's organs are more sensitive to radiation than adults, due to their growth rate. Therefore, evaluating the absorbed dose in children to avoid irrecoverable damage is highly crucial. In this work, absorbed dose by different organs of children within the SPECT imaging for the Tc-MAG3, Tc-DTPA, and Tc-DMSA that are commonly employed for pediatric patients, were estimated through the use of Monte Carlo simulation and the University of Florida's (UF) voxel-wise phantoms at the ages of 4, 8, 11, and 14-years old. The results showed that the highest absorbed dose was by kidneys and when Tc-DMSA was used. Also, the highest and lowest absorbed dose in the organs occurred when Tc-DMSA and Tc-MAG3 were used, respectively. The simulation results were in good agreement with the ICRP 128 data.
由于儿童的生长速度,人们普遍认为儿童的器官对辐射比成人更敏感。因此,评估儿童的吸收剂量以避免不可恢复的损伤至关重要。在这项工作中,通过使用蒙特卡罗模拟和佛罗里达大学(UF)的体素模型,对4岁、8岁、11岁和14岁儿童在用于儿科患者的常用的Tc-MAG3、Tc-DTPA和Tc-DMSA的SPECT成像中不同器官的吸收剂量进行了估计。结果表明,当使用Tc-DMSA时,肾脏的吸收剂量最高。此外,分别使用Tc-DMSA和Tc-MAG3时,器官中的吸收剂量最高和最低。模拟结果与ICRP 128数据吻合良好。
