Özet

This study compares the effective doses from a MIRD-type stylised model with those derived from the scaled-down version of the tomographic VIP-Man model for photon, electron, neutron and proton beams. The effective dose results from these two models show that they differ from each other within similar to 10% for common high-energy photon beams, within similar to 16% for neutrons, and within similar to 4% for high-energy proton beams. However, for low-energy protons and common electron beams, the effective doses can be different in > 100%. It is concluded that the use of a single tomographic models will not improve the operational radiation protection dosimetry involving external beam exposures.
