Photon fluence and dose estimation in computed tomography using a discrete ordinates Boltzmann solver

In this study, cone-beam single projection and axial CT scans are modeled with a software package—DOCTORS, which solves the linear Boltzmann equation using the discrete ordinates method. Phantoms include a uniform 35 cm diameter water cylinder and a non-uniform abdomen phantom. Series simulations we...
