226 Ra committed effective dose assessment for osteoporosis treatment with 'Gran-White' dolomite
- 1. Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares (IPEN), Sao Paulo, SP (Brazil)
Description
A total of 6 dolomite samples were prepared for activity concentration measurement by using high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. The calculated average specific activity of 226 Ra was 4.34 Bq/kg. The committed effective dose due to the Ra-226 specific activity in dolomite was performed following the ICRP 30 and ICRP 61 procedures and dose conversion factors. Values of 1.95 x 10-6 Sv were obtained for committed effective dose and 5.93 x 10-5 Sv for committed dose equivalent in the bone surface. (author). 9 refs., 2 tabs
