Dose calculation in computerized tomography

The purpose of this work is to develop an automatic methodology to obtain the dose received by a patient, (classified by organs), after being subjected to ionizing radiation because of CT images acquisition. The methodology starts from CT images, these images are automatically segmented and voxelized taking into account the CT numbers in order to obtain a 3D model used in Monte Carlo Simulations to calculate the dose inside the patient.
