This paper presents a systematic analysis of the inherent uncertainty in internal dose calculations for radiopharmaceuticals. A generic equation for internal dose is presented, and the uncertainty in each of the individual terms is analyzed, with the relative uncertainty of all terms compared. The combined uncertainties in most radiopharmaceutical dose estimates will be typically at least a fac...

Introduction: In this study, a specific combination (70% W 18.61% Ni and 11.39% C) of lead free and flexible putty metal is introduced and validated as internal shielding by Mont Carlo study Materials and Methods: To evaluate putty metal as an internal shielding by Mont Carlo study Varian 2100 C/D was validated within measurement and then by given energy spect...

background: high level radiation areas have been recognized on various parts of the earth. mahallat hot spring region is one of these areas. study of exposure in these areas can be helpful in investigating the effects of ionizing radiation. internal and external exposure to the staff was studied. materials and methods: used materials and instruments include: rss-112 ionizing chamber for environ...

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...

background: gel polymers are considered as new dosimeters for determining radiotherapy dose distribution in three dimensions. objective: the ability of a new formulation of magic-f polymer gel was assessed by experimental measurement and monte carlo (mc) method for studying the effect of gold nanoparticles (gnps) in prostate dose distributions under the internal ir-192 and external 18mv radioth...
