A Mathematical Model of a Phantom Developed for Use in Calculations of Radiation Dose to the Body and Major Internal Organs of a Japanese Adult

Abstract

A mathematical model of a phantom simulating the body and major internal organs of a Japanese adult has been developed for use in computer calculations of radiation dose. The total body height of the mathematical phantom is 162 cm, and the total body mass is 55 kg based on densities of 0.3, 1.4, and 1.0 g/cm3for the lung, skeleton, and bulk tissues of the body, respectively. © 1976, Journal of Radiation Research Editorial Committee.
