A new anthropometric phantom has been developed for use in calibrating in vivo
measurements of bone-seeking radionuclides. The phantom has the external shape and …

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

Whole-body counters (WBCs) are used for the assessment of the internal contamination of
actinides in the human body. WBCs require adequate calibration procedures that rely on the …

Abstract New York University Medical Center's Institute of Environmental Medicine
(NYUMC/IEM) was called upon by representatives of the United States Transuranic Registry …

Whole body counter (WBC) facilities are currently used for assessment of internal
radionuclide body burdens by directly measuring the radiation emitted from the body …

In case of chronic exposure or long time after an acute intake of 241Am as a consequence of
an incident, the assessment of internal dose might be realised by estimating the total activity …

Abstract 241Am is known to be a bone-seeking isotope. In the long term it enters the human
skeleton. In this paper, the case of a now 62 year old male subject who incorporated 241Am …

IN MID-FEBRUARY 1990, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the
Bureau of Radiation and Medical Devices (BRMD) organized a 3-d workshop in an attempt …

The investigation of actinides' internal contamination in human body makes use of a variety
of techniques. In large scale screening the technique of “in vivo” evaluation of bone 241Am …

A calibration phantom with incorporated 90Sr has been designed and made completely of
tissue-substitute materials. This phantom fills a unique niche in the metrological support for …
