Definitions for "DOSE RECONSTRUCTION"
A scientific study that estimates doses to people from releases of radioactivity or other pollutants. The reconstruction is done by determining how much pollution was released, how people came in contact with it and the amount absorbed by all or part of their bodies.
Estimating exposure by considering emissions, environmental measurements, and routes of exposure.
The process of using information about an individual's past exposures to ionizing radiation as well as general knowledge about the behavior of radioactive materials in the human body and in the environment to estimate the dose of radiation that someone has received.
Calculating the dose deposited on the patient by using delivery verification and a CT obtained at the time of treatment (fraction CT).
