The UF/MSK pediatric mesh-based computational human phantom library: applications to organ dosimetry in computed tomography

A large library of 153 male and 131 female pediatric mesh-type computational human phantoms was created in this study. For the males, standing height ranged from 95 to 185 cm and the total body mass ranged from 10 to 125 kg. For the females, standing height ranged from 95 to 175 cm and the total body mass ranged from 10 to 115 kg. These 284 phantoms, developed from the ICRP 5-year, 10-year, and 15-year male and female MRCPs, are representative of US children within the age range of 2 to 18 years. An accompanying NIT (newborn-infant-toddler) series - 59 males and 59 females - provides a unique phantom library for patients under the age of 2 years down to birth. Representative organ doses are shown across samples of the pediatric UF/MSK phantom library for the Cannon Aquilion One Genesis scanner under fixed tube current imaging.
