Design And Fabrication Of A 3d Printed Thyroid Phantom For Radiation Dosimetry

Estimation of internal and external radiation dose from SPECT/CT procedures depends mainly on calculations of Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) methods. Currently, there is no dynamic thyroid phantom with a precise geometrical shape which can simulate the biokinetics of the radiopharmaceuticals...
