| pubmed-article:12593436 | pubmed:abstractText | The aim of this work was to estimate absorbed doses received by a victim of the radiation accident with a 60Co source in Henan province, China. With a Monte Carlo stochastic simulation method, an estimation method for doses to the radiation accident victim was made. It utilised a mathematical model of adult man (MIRD) and a relative applied computer program was developed. By means of the simulated conditions of the accident, the absorbed doses to the victim's main organ and total body doses were estimated. The results estimated by our Monte Carlo method are close to those of experimental simulation measurement of the accident. With its convenience and rapidity, this method will be valuable for radiation dose reconstruction for victims in radiation accidents. | lld:pubmed |
