  • Title: Comparison of effective doses from various monoenergetic particles based on the stylised and the VIP-Man tomographic models.
    Author: Xu XG, Chao TC, Bozkurt A.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2005; 115(1-4):530-5. PubMed ID: 16381780.
    Abstract:
    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 approximately 10% for common high-energy photon beams, within approximately 16% for neutrons, and within approximately 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.
