Intercomparison on Monte Carlo modelling of in vivo measurements of
lung contamination with a Livermore phantom
A EURADOS WG6-WG7 joint action
Innovative approaches have been developed to set up and apply voxel
phantoms with Monte Carlo (MC) simulation techniques to calibrate whole
body counting systems. A collaboration has been undertaken between
EURADOS Working Group 7 “Internal Dosimetry” and Working Group 6
“Computational Dosimetry” to organize an international
intercomparison aimed at investigating and comparing the different Monte
Carlo approaches adopted in this field by various laboratories.
A Livermore torso phantom is used for the calibration of detectors for
in vivo measurements of Actinides deposited in lungs. IRSN has produced
a CT scan of the Livermore phantom that is now distributed as a voxel
phantom to the participants to be implemented in their own MC codes.
The problem, companion materials and instruction to return results can
be downloaded above. The final results will be summarized and discussed
in a workshop before publication in a peer reviewed journal.
We should appreciate very much your participation in this international
joint action.
