Patient-Specific Whole-Body Computed Tomography Generation for Total Body Irradiation and Total Skin Electron Beam Therapy Using a Computational Human Phantom: A Preliminary Study

Preliminary journal article describing generation of patient-specific whole-body computed tomography for use in total body irradiation (TBI) and total skin electron beam therapy (TSET) using a computational human phantom. Published by the Korean Association for Radiation Protection.
