1. A computer-implemented method for providing a plurality of medical imaging providers with estimates of radiation dose absorbed by individuals receiving imaging scans, the method comprising: receiving, from one of the medical imaging providers, a request for an estimate of radiation dose absorbed by an individual in receiving an imaging scan, wherein the request identifies an imaging phantom, a transformation for deforming the imaging phantom, and a set of parameters describing the imaging scan and an image scanning apparatus being used to perform the imaging scan; deforming the imaging phantom based on the transformation; evaluating a plurality of dose estimation simulations estimating radiation dose absorption; upon determining, based on the evaluation, that two or more of the plurality of simulations match the received set of parameters and the deformed imaging phantom within a specified tolerance measure, interpolating the estimates of radiation dose in the two or more simulations to determine the estimate of radiation dose absorbed by the individual in receiving the imaging scan; upon determining, based on the evaluation, that the plurality of simulations do not include at least two simulations matching the received set of parameters and the deformed imaging phantom within the specified tolerance measure: performing a simulation of the imaging scan using the deformed imaging phantom and the received set of parameters; estimating, based on the simulation, amounts of radiation absorbed by the individual as a result of performing the imaging scan; and adding the performed simulation to the plurality of dose estimation simulations; and returning, to the medical imaging provider, one of the interpolated estimate of patient dose or the estimated amounts of absorbed radiation from performing the simulation of the imaging scan.
