Abstract

The Human Monitoring Laboratory (HML) has created five new voxel phantoms that can be used for Monte Carlo simulations. Three phantoms were created from computer tomography image sets that were obtained from facilities in Italy and the USA: a human male and the male canines. Two other phantoms were constructed from commercially available software that is used to demonstrate human anatomical features: a human male and a human female. All the voxel phantoms created by the HML that are described in this note are available at no cost to interested researchers.
