This study aims to quantitatively evaluate the cumulative effective dose and associated cancer risk of pediatric patients of US and Hong Kong population undergoing repetitive whole-body scans with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) during their diagnosis and follow-up periods. Organ-absorbed doses of pediatric patients undergoing DXA whole-body scan have been computer simulated using patient imaging parameters input to the Monte Carlo software PCXMC. Gender- and age-specific effective doses have been calculated with the simulated organ-absorbed doses using the ICRP-103 approach.

Objective: To evaluate the effective dose and associated cancer risk using EOS system for scoliotic adolescent patients undergoing full spine imaging at different age of exposure; to demonstrate EOS system capable of delivering less radiation dose and hence of reducing cancer risk induction when compared with conventional digital X-ray systems; to obtain cumulative effective dose and cancer risk for both genders scoliotic adolescence of US and Hong Kong population.

Methods: Organ absorbed doses of full spine exposed scoliotic adolescent patients using EOS system have been simulated with the use of patient imaging parameters input to the Monte Carlo software PCXMC. Gender specific effective dose has been calculated with the simulated organ absorbed dose using the ICRP-103 approach.
