Abstract
In the present investigation, Monte Carlo VMC code simulation was used for the estimation of individual organ dose and effective dose to human body using Cs-137, Co-60 and Na-24 radioactive external sources. It was observed that the organ dose varies with source strength and the duration of exposure whereas the effective dose to human body is linearly dependent upon the exposure time.
Özet
Yapılan araştırmada, Cs-137, Co-60 ve Na-24 radyoaktif kaynaklarının harici kullanımında bireyselorgan dozunun ve insan vücuduna etkin dozun tahmini için Monte Carlo VMC kod simülasyonukullanılmıştır. Organ dozunun kaynak gücü ve maruz kalınan süre ile değiştiği gözlemlenirken, insanvücudunun etkin doza maruz kalma süresi ile lineer bağımlılığı bulunmuştur.
