Project Motivation (Pregnant Female Models)
• High radio-sensitivity for the fetus
• Needs for accurate dosimetry– Occupational (if the pregnancy is declared)– Nuclear medicine – Radiation treatment of pregnant patients (increasing!)– Air traveling– non-ionizing radiation (RF etc)
• Models difficult to develop– Twice as many tissues and organs– 3-month, 6-month and 9-month gestational periods– Medical images are rare
Project Goals
1) Development a new set of models of pregnant mother and fetus at the end of 3-, 6- and 9-month gestational periods
2) Compile organ dose parameters for external and internal irradiations
Existing Pregnant Female Models
Stylized models- Stabin 1995
- Chen 2004From partial-body CT image set- Shi and Xu (2004)
They are un-realistic and in-complete
Method: Flow Chart of Pregnant Female Model Development
Model Extraction of 3D representation from CT Images (external uterine wall).
This is a new approach!

Results - External photons
RPI-P9 phantom; total fetal dose
Conclusion• A series of pregnant female and fetus phantoms
have been developed• Organ masses are adjusted according to ICRP
reference values• External photon, electron, neutron and proton
sources have been studied
• Internal photon and electron sources have been studied
• ICRP is hoped to adopt the RPI-P series as standard pregnant-female models
