Personal Dose Equivalent Conversion Coefficients Skins Dose for Mono-Energetic Photons, Electrons, and Positrons: Monte Carlo Approach and Development of an Analytical Approach

Аннотация

The present work seeks to calculate and development of a new set of the personal dose equivalent conversion coefficients (Skins Dose) for mono-energetic photons (in absorbed dose and Kerma approximations), electrons and positrons from 10 keV to 10 MeV on the phantom ICRU tissue. The conversion coefficients calculations were two ways: Monte Carlo and development an analytical approach using FORTRAN program. The results obtained in this work were found to be in good agreement with to those published in joint report of ICRU and ICRP, 2017 [1]. The numerical comparison was made to validate DOSRZnrc code for conversion coefficients calculations as well as testing the developed of an analytical a new approach using FORTRAN. Our study can be useful to improve standards of protection for medical workers for procedure resulting in potentially high exposures and to develop methodologies for the best assessing and for reducing exposures.
