GENERATING A SUITABLE MODEL FOR ESTIMATING PATIENT RADIATION DOSE RESULTING FROM MEDICAL IMAGING SCANS

Patient radiation exposure during computerized tomography (CT) scans is estimated. More specifically, efficient approaches for generating a suitable patient model which may be used to make an estimate of a radiation dose received at specific anatomical landmarks or organs of the patient are provided. Further disclosed are approaches for estimating the patient dose by interpolating the results of multiple simulations, and for enabling a service provider to host a dose estimation service made available to multiple CT scan providers.
