Abstract
Methods and apparatus for determining radiation doses based on phantom matching are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an image processor to process a scout image to determine the first dimensions of an anatomical landmark of the scout image file; a comparator to select a phantom model based on the first dimensions, the phantom model including the anatomical landmark with second dimensions substantially similar to the first dimensions; and a dose calculator to calculate a radiation dose for an organ in the anatomical landmark based on the selected phantom.
