ABSTRACT
Over the past decades, the application of single-photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography in neuroimaging has markedly increased. In the current study, we used a series of Korean computational head phantoms with detailed cranial structures for 6-, 9-, 12-, 15-y-old children and adult and a Monte Carlo transport code, MCNPX, to calculate age-dependent specific absorbed fraction (SAF) for mono-energetic electrons ranging from 0.01 to 4 MeV and S values for seven radionuclides widely used in nuclear medicine neuroimaging for the combination of ten source and target regions. Compared to the adult phantom, the 6-y phantom showed up to 1.7-fold greater SAF (cerebellum < cerebellum) and up to 1.4-fold greater S values (vitreous body < lens) for 123I. The electron SAF data, combined with our previous photon SAF data, will facilitate absorbed dose calculations for various cranial structures in patients undergoing neuroimaging procedures.
