  • Title: Fluence to effective dose conversion coefficients calculated for monoenergetic electrons up to 200 MeV in partial exposure geometries.
    Author: Kitaichi M, Katagiri M, Hikoji M, Iwai S, Sumiyoshi T, Sawamura S.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2004; 112(3):345-58. PubMed ID: 15494361.
    Abstract:
    Organ doses and effective doses were calculated for monoenergetic electrons from 0.1 to 200 MeV using the EGS4 Monte Carlo simulation code and the MIRD-5 human phantom in various non-uniform exposure geometries: anterior-posterior (AP) and posterior-anterior (PA). Below 1 MeV, the skin is the main contributor to the effective dose conversion coefficients for each exposure geometry; however, above 1 MeV the calculations showed that the effective doses of partial exposures depended on the incident electron energy, the place and the size of the exposure on the body.
