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 ∼10% for common high-energy photon beams, within ∼16% for neutrons, and within ∼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.
