Objective. Patient dose estimation in x-ray-guided interventions is essential to prevent radiation-induced biological side effects. Current dose monitoring systems estimate the skin dose based in dose metrics such as the reference air kerma. However, these approximations do not take into account the exact patient morphology and organs composition. Furthermore, accurate organ dose estimation has not been proposed for these procedures. Monte Carlo simulation can accurately estimate the dose by recreating the irradiation process generated during the x-ray imaging, but at a high computation time, limiting an intra-operative application. This work presents a fast deep convolutional neural network trained with MC simulations for patient dose estimation during x-ray-guided interventions. Approach. We introduced a modified 3D U-Net that utilizes a patient's CT scan and the numerical values of imaging settings as input to produce a Monte Carlo dose map. To create a dataset of dose maps, we simulated the x-ray irradiation process for the abdominal region using a publicly available dataset of 82 patient CT scans. The simulation involved varying the angulation, position, and tube voltage of the x-ray source for each scan. We additionally conducted a clinical study during endovascular abdominal aortic repairs to validate the reliability of our Monte Carlo simulation dose maps. Dose measurements were taken at four specific anatomical points on the skin and compared to the corresponding simulated doses. The proposed network was trained using a 4-fold cross-validation approach with 65 patients, and evaluating the performance on the remaining 17 patients during testing. Main results. The clinical validation demonstrated a average error within the anatomical points of 5.1%. The network yielded test errors of 11.5 & PLUSMN; 4.6% and 6.2 & PLUSMN; 1.5% for peak and average skin doses, respectively. Furthermore, the mean errors for the abdominal region and pancreas doses were 5.0 & PLUSMN; 1.4% and 13.1 & PLUSMN; 2.7%, respectively. Significance. Our network can accurately predict a personalized 3D dose map considering the current imaging settings. A short computation time was achieved, making our approach a potential solution for dose monitoring and reporting commercial systems.
