Innovation Summary: A computational method enables quantification of organ-specific radiation dose during CT imaging and uses inverse optimization to adjust scan parameters accordingly. The system incorporates patient-specific anatomical models and dose-response data to guide personalized imaging protocols. It supports real-time planning and integrates with existing CT systems. The approach improves safety while maintaining diagnostic image quality.
Challenges / Opportunities: Conventional CT protocols apply uniform dose settings, which may overexpose sensitive organs and fail to account for individual anatomy. This method addresses that gap by tailoring dose delivery based on patient-specific data. It opens opportunities for safer imaging in pediatric and high-risk populations. The system supports regulatory compliance and personalized medicine initiatives.
Key Benefits / Advantages: ✔ Personalized dose optimization ✔ Organ-specific dose quantification ✔ Maintains diagnostic image quality ✔ Real-time planning capability ✔ Compatible with existing CT systems
Applications: • Diagnostic imaging • Radiation safety • Personalized medicine
