NCIRF is the radiography and fluoroscopy component of NCI Dose Tools. It supports organ dose assessment for x-ray radiography, fluoroscopy, and fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures using computational human phantoms and procedure-specific exposure geometry.
NCIRF is developed and maintained in the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), Radiation Epidemiology Branch, and is supported by the peer-reviewed methods listed below.
Resource Overview
- Estimates organ doses for radiography and fluoroscopy procedures.
- Uses reference-size pediatric and adult phantoms, body-size-adaptive pediatric and adult phantoms, and pregnancy phantoms with detailed fetal anatomy to represent patient anatomy.
- Uses backend Monte Carlo radiation transport methods for organ dose estimation.
- Supports interactive and batch workflows.
- NCI Dose Tools GitHub Pages information site: more detailed tool information, manuals, version history, technical documentation, Q&A and related publications.
