Abstract
Patient radiation exposure during computerized tomography (CT) scans is estimated. More specifically, efficient approaches for generating a suitable patient model which may be used for estimating the radiation dose absorbed by a patient receiving a CT scan, for estimating a patient dose by interpolating the results of multiple simulations, and for a service provider to host a dose estimation service made available to multiple CT scan providers.
