Abstract

Computational modeling of interaction of radiation with human tissue cells plays an important role in medical physics for evaluation of radiation toxicity. Monte Carlo simulation used to implement such a model. 3D phantom of cells must be created and fed to a Monte Carlo software. In this study a 3D voxelized phantom of a kidney cells in a nephron structure created and used in Monte Carlo simulations to assessment of nephrotoxicity. The phantom is fed to GATE Monte Carlo toolkits and simulations were performed to calculate the absorbed dose/energy from source in a range of energy. The dose estimated in subunits of the voxelized and stylized phantoms showed a considerable bias (average of relative differences). The digital phantom showed very significant differences in dose distribution among the cells in different subunits of the nephron. The results demonstrated that a small dissimilarity in size and shape of geometry can lead to a considerable difference in microdosimetry results. The model presented in this study offers a phantom not only concerning realistic geometry of nephron neglected in previous stylized models, but also has the capability to plot the spatial distribution of absorbed dose for any distribution of radiopharmaceuticals in nephron cells.
