  A pelvic CT scan may be recommended for a pregnant woman in the later stages of pregnancy if there is a possibility that the baby's head may be too large to fit through the pelvis during delivery. This examination assesses the size of the pelvis by measuring different bone diameters and provides information on the pelvis's morphology. Additionally, physicists and doctors frequently worry about ionizing radiation exposure might have a detrimental effect on the foetus. In this study, GATE Monte Carlo toolkit was used to model the SOMATOM EMOTION 16 CT scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany). The CTDI measurement was used to validate the simulated scanner model for energies 80 kV, 110 kV, and 130 kV. A voxelized phantom in the third trimester was scanned in sequential and helical modes. Organ foetal doses and mean doses were compared at 80 kV, in order to determine.. Read More»
