Description

The authors have applied the EGS4 (Electron Gamma Shower Version 4) code to the evaluation of the responses of a whole-body counter using mathematical models and correction factors for individuals in order to improve accuracy on the assessment of body burdens. It was found that the calibration of the whole-body counter by the EGS4 code could replace the actual calibration and the calculated correction factors shall be practical and useful for the whole-body counting.
