The 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP, 2007) introduced changes that affect calculation effective dose, and implied a revision dose coefficients for internal exposure, published previously in Publication 30 series 1979, 1980, 1981, 1988b) 68 1994b). In addition, new data are available support an update radionuclide-specific information given Publications 54 78 1988a, 1997b) design monitoring programmes retrospective assessment occupational...
Dose assessment after intakes of radionuclides requires application biokinetic and dosimetric models assumptions about factors influencing the final result. In 2006, a document giving guidance for such was published, commonly referred to as IDEAS Guidelines. Following its publication, working group within European networks CONRAD EURADOS established improve update This work resulted in Version 2 Guidelines, which published 2013 form report. The general structure original maintained; however,...
The $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ decay of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) in $^{132}\mathrm{Ce}$ compound nucleus with temperature up to $\ensuremath{\approx}4\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$ has been measured, using reaction $^{64}\mathrm{Ni}+^{68}\mathrm{Zn}$ at ${E}_{\mathrm{beam}}=300$, 400, and 500 MeV. charged particles measured coincidence recoils are consistent a fully equilibrated emission. GDR width, obtained statistical model analysis, is found increase almost linearly temperature. This...
Three-dimensional printing is a promising technology to produce phantoms for quality assurance and dosimetry in X-ray imaging. Crucial this, however, the use of tissue equivalent materials. It was thus aim this study evaluate properties larger number commercially available filaments with respect their attenuation absorption X-rays.Apparent kerma coefficients (AKACs) absorbed doses different spectra (tube voltages, 70-140 kV) were measured simulated by Monte-Carlo computations...
PET with <sup>18</sup>F-choline (<sup>18</sup>F-FCH) is used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and its recurrences. In this work, biodistribution data from a recent study conducted at Skåne University Hospital Malmö were for development biokinetic dosimetric model. <b>Methods:</b> The <sup>18</sup>F-FCH was followed 10 patients using up to 4 h after administration. Activity concentrations blood urine samples also determined. A compartmental model structure developed, values parameters...
The γ-ray emission from the dynamical dipole formed in heavy-ion collisions during process leading to fusion was measured for N/Z asymmetric reaction 16O + 116Sn at beam energies of 8.1 and 15.6 MeV/nucleon. High-energy γ-rays charged particles were coincidence with heavy recoiling residual nuclei. data are compared those symmetric 64Ni 68Zn bombarding 4.7 7.8 MeV/nucleon, same CN excitation as calculated kinematics. yield high-energy 16O-induced is found exceed that thermalized excess...

The potential health impacts of chronic exposures to uranium, as they occur in occupational settings, are not well characterized. Most epidemiological studies have been limited by small sample sizes, and a lack harmonization methods used quantify radiation doses resulting from uranium exposure. Experimental shown that has biological effects, but their implications for human clear. New would combine the strengths large, well-designed datasets with those state-of-the-art help improve...
Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid (DTPA) is used for decorporation of plutonium because it known to be able enhance its urinary excretion several days after treatment by forming stable Pu-DTPA complexes. The prevents accumulation in organs and results a dosimetric benefit, which difficult quantify from bioassay data using existing models. development biokinetic model describing the mechanisms actinide administration DTPA was initiated as task European COordinated Network on RAdiation...
ICRP suggested a strategy based on the distinction between protection approach for dwellings and one workplaces in previous recommendations radon. Now, Commission recommends an integrated against radon exposure all buildings irrespective of their purpose status occupants. The buildings, implemented through national action plan, is application optimisation principle below derived reference level concentration (maximum 300 Bq m(-3)). A problem, however, arises that due to new epidemiological...
Abstract Background The aim was to review available biokinetic data, collect own experimental and propose an updated compartmental model for 2-[ 18 F]FDG in the frame of revision ICRP report on dose coefficients radiopharmaceuticals used diagnostic nuclear medicine.
