1. A system, comprising:
a dose simulator in communication with an imaging system, the dose simulator comprising a user interface, a processor, and a non-transitory storage medium comprising programming instructions,
wherein the programming instructions, if executed, enable the processor to cause the dose simulator to:
receive patient information about the patient, wherein the patient information comprises information about one or more physical characteristics of the patient;
receive scan data, wherein the scan data is generated during an imaging scan of the patient by the imaging system, wherein the imaging scan is a partial imaging scan of a portion of the patient, and wherein the scan data represents partial scan data covering the portion of the patient;
create a virtual dose model of the patient based upon the patient information and the partial scan data;
receive a selection of a region of interest of the patient;
perform a dose simulation on the virtual dose model of the patient or a portion thereof; and
determine, based upon an outcome of the dose simulation, an estimate of the radiation dose received within the region of interest.
