Abstract
In case of a radiological emergency situation involving accidental human exposure, a dosimetry evaluation must be established as soon as possible. In most cases, this evaluation is based on numerical representations and models of victims. Unfortunately, personalized and realistic human representations are often unavailable for the exposed subjects. However, accuracy of treatment depends on the similarity of the phantom to the victim. The EquiVox platform (Research of Equivalent Voxel phantom) developed in this study uses case-based reasoning (CBR) principles to retrieve and adapt, from among a set of existing phantoms, the one to represent the victim. This paper introduces the EquiVox platform and the artificial neural network (ANN) developed to interpolate the victim's 3D lung contours. The results obtained for the choice and construction of the contours are presented and discussed.
