Title: Internal irradiation from nuclear medicine investigations: A comparison between effective dose equivalent and effective dose

Abstract

ICRP Publication 60 (1990) proposes a partially revised method to calculate effective dose, a quantity previously defined in ICRP Publication 26 (1977) as effective dose equivalent. The authors applied these two different approaches to calculate the effective dose equivalent and the effective dose, in the case of internal irradiations from the most common nuclear medicine investigations. The results show clear differences between the two examined quantities, even if the differences are not statistically significant. 5 refs., 4 tabs.
