Description
With the development of nuclear medicine, more and more radiopharmaceuticals are used in diagnosis, therapy, physiology and other medicine field. As a special medication, radiopharmaceuticals benefit human, however, it bring us radiation. Based on the data of Chinese Reference Man, using the ORNL model for reference, we create a Mathematical Phantom of Chinese Reference Man according with the Chinese physiology characters. Using it, we develop a software by Monte Carlo to calculate the internal radiation dose. (authors)
