  • 1. China Institute for Radiation Protection, Taiyuan (China)

Description

Dose conversion coefficient is the basis for, and one important part of, radiation dose evaluation. This paper introduces the dosimetric models, basic assumptions and calculation method for non-human species dose conversion coefficient, makes a comparison and application analysis or dose conversion coefficients used in whole body model and simple anatomic model.
