Estimation of the radiation dose in pregnancy: an automated patient-specific model using convolutional neural networks

Objectives The conceptus dose during diagnostic imaging procedures for pregnant patients raises health concerns owing to the high radiosensitivity of the developing embryo/fetus. The aim of this work is to develop a methodology for automated construction of patient-specific computational phantoms ba...
