    X-ray computed tomography (CT) is widely used for diagnosing various conditions but contributes significantly to patient radiation exposure.

  • 2

    Personalized medicine necessitates accurate organ dose calculations to assess radiation risks associated with medical imaging.

  • 3

    Monte Carlo simulations are the gold standard for calculating organ doses but face challenges in clinical adoption due to complexity and computational demands.

  • 4

    This study developed a deep learning algorithm to automate patient-specific Monte Carlo dose reconstruction in real-time for whole-body CT scans.

  • 5

    The method was validated using data from 63 patients, demonstrating potential for improved accuracy in estimating radiation doses during CT imaging.
