• We proposed a deep neural network approach as an alternative to Monte Carlo dose calculation. • Our proposed deep learning model is able to generate voxel-level dose maps from a whole-body CT scan with reasonable accuracy, suitable for organ-level dose estimation. • By generating a dose distribution from a single source position, our model can generate accurate and personalized dose maps for a wide range of acquisition parameters.
