Medical Physics, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA
Our simulation sought to model the process by calculating x-ray dose to a given concentration of nanophosphors at depth in tissue. Photon diffusion modeling determined the fraction of luminescence that escapes the mouse phantom. The optics of the lens and the CCD camera parameters determined the fraction of luminescent signal that was detected and converted into ADU. The simulation predicted a measured luminescent signal of 45 ADU while the average measured voxel value was 114 ADU. The relatively good agreement of these values indicates that the general structure of the model is sound. The remaining factor of two discrepancy is likely due to inaccurate assumptions regarding luminescence efficiency that we will seek to measure by other means.
