Description
In this contribution, a method is described in which a virtual movable hand phantom is used to simulate the partial body dose during the handling of radiation sources. Radiation scenarios, for example those occurring in nuclear medicine therapies, can be analyzed with this method. After a short explanation of the modelling of a radiation scenario, a first investigation of the method and its results are presented. (orig.)
