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

A comparison was made between two computational phantoms, modelled from the unified
phantom UPh-08 T, for whole-body counting applications. One of these was further …

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 …

A goal of whole body counting (WBC) is the estimation of the total body burden of
radionuclides disregarding the actual position within the body. To achieve the goal, the …

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 …

Physical phantoms are used at whole-body-counting (WBC) laboratories to calibrate
detector systems for in vivo monitoring of radionuclides internally deposited in the body …

Background: Whole-body counters are widely used to evaluate internal contamination of the
internal presence of gamma-emitting radionuclides. In internal dosimetry, it is a basic …

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 …

Whole-body counting is a technique of choice for assessing the intake of gamma-emitting
radionuclides. An appropriate calibration is necessary, which is done either by experimental …

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 …
