Dosimetry of particulate sources in the lung
Creators
Description
The purpose of this study is to develop practical methods for calculating microdosimetric distributions for soft tissue and for lung tissue in which plutonium or other alpha-emitting elements are deposited, particularly when deposited as particulates, to aid in correlating and extrapolating radiation effects measured at different levels of exposure and in different species. The first version of a computer program for particulate microdosimetry and some initial results with it are reported
