To improve calibration methods of in vivo counting, our laboratory has developed a
computer tool to model internal contamination and assess in vivo activity and corresponding …

As part of the improvement of calibration techniques of in vivo counting, the Laboratory of
Internal Dose Assessment of the Institute of Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety has …

The efficiency calibration of whole-body counters (WBCs) for monitoring of internal
contaminations is usually performed with anthropomorphic physical phantoms assuming …

The purpose of this work is to present an innovative approach for the creation and
application of voxel phantoms associated with the Monte Carlo calculation (MCNP) for the …

This article is dedicated to the application of voxel phantoms in whole-body counting
calibration. The first study was performed to validate this approach using IGOR, a physical …

Detector efficiency calibration of in vivo bioassay measurements is based on physical
anthropomorphic phantoms that can be loaded with radionuclides of the suspected …

Individual monitoring can provide an estimate of the radioactivity present in the body of the
exposed individuals. Periodic monitoring of occupationally exposed individuals is of great …

Whole-body counters (WBC) are used to detect potential intake of radioisotopes in the
human body. To achieve a precise measurement of an incorporated activity, a WBC needs …

Internal dose assessment can be derived from the measurement of retained activity in the
whole body or in an organ at a given time. In radiation protection, this assessment, so-called …

This study reports on the computational analysis and experimental calibration of the whole-
body counting detection equipment at the Nuclear and Technological Institute (ITN) in …
