Abstract The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has created a task
group on dose calculations, which, among other objectives, should replace the currently …

EURADOS Working Group 6 has organized an intercomparison exercise on the use of the
ICRP Reference Computational Phantoms with radiation transport codes. This paper …

Extensive calculations of specific absorbed fractions (SAFs) for monoenergetic photon
sources were performed using a Monte Carlo photon transport code together with seven …

The paper presents the OEDIPE (French acronym that stands for tool for personalised
internal dose assessment) and SESAME (for simulation of external source accident with …

Efforts have been made to assess the dose equivalent in various organs or tissues (the
organ dose equivalent, hereafter for simplicity) and the effective dose equivalent due to …

Several updated Monte Carlo (MC) codes are available to perform calculations of voxel
values for radionuclide targeted therapy. The aim of this work is to analyze the differences in …

For the determination of organ doses and the effective dose equivalent either physical or
mathematical exposure models have to be used in order to establish suitable conversion …

A voxel phantom has been developed to simulate in vivo measurement systems for
calibration purposes. The calibration method presented employs a mathematical phantom …
