An image-based skeletal dosimetry model for the ICRP reference adult female—internal electron sources

IDAC-Dose 2.1, an internal dosimetry program for diagnostic nuclear medicine based on the ICRP adult reference voxel phantoms

BACKGROUND To date, the estimated radiation-absorbed dose to organs and tissues in patients undergoing diagnostic examinations in nuclear medicine is derived via calculations based on models of the human body and the biokinetic behaviour of the radiopharmaceutical. An internal dosimetry computer program, IDAC-Dose2.1, was developed based on the International Commission on Radiological Protectio...

Internal dosimetry of radioiodine using ICRP reference phantoms and updated biokinetic model

The purpose of this study is to estimate internal dose to human body due to administration of I-131 using new biokinetic model of iodine. In this respect, we used international commission on radiological protection (ICRP) adult reference phantoms. Monte Carlo calculations were performed using MCNPX 2.6 code. The average dose to target organ per disintegration inside source organ, namely S facto...

Internal dosimetry and tritium--the ICRP position.

Development of Iranian Adult Female Reference Phantom for Internal Dosimetry Calculations

Estimation of organ doses in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures is an area of particular concern for radiation protection, in all over the world. The stylized computational phantoms have contributed significantly to radiation dosimetry in nuclear medicine; however, their simplified treatment of human anatomy is being criticized. Due to the fact that the ICRP adult reference ...
