Effective dose rate coefficients for exposure to contaminated soil

Dose coefficients for intakes of radionuclides via contaminated wounds.

The NCRP Wound Model, which describes the retention of selected radionuclides at the site of a contaminated wound and their uptake into the transfer compartment, has been combined with the ICRP element-specific systemic models for those radionuclides to derive dose coefficients for intakes via contaminated wounds. These coefficients can be used to generate derived regulatory guidance (i.e., the...

Calculation of Effective Dose Conversion Coefficients for Electrons

Assessment of Effective Dose Equivalent from Internal Exposure to 222Rn in Ramsar City

Introduction In this study, effective dose equivalent for the public due to internal exposure to 222radon (222Rn) was evaluated in three regions of Ramsar, a northern coastal city in Iran.                                Materials and Methods Measurements were carried out using a radon monitoring device. Outdoor and indoor radon concentrations were measured within 24 hours with an integration in...

Erratum to: Conversion coefficients for the estimation of effective dose in cone-beam CT

PURPOSE To determine the conversion coefficients (CCs) from the dose-area product (DAP) value to effective dose in cone-beam CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS A CBCT scanner with four fields of view (FOV) was used. Using two exposure settings of the adult standard and low dose exposure, DAP values were measured with a DAP meter in C mode (200mm×179 mm), P mode (154 mm×154 mm), I mode (102 mm×102 mm),...
