Poston, J W

This task involved use of the code INDOSE-EGS for calculation of S-values for radionuclides of importance in nuclear medicine. This task was proposed to proceed in a logical fashion as outlined below: identification of radionuclides for which more refined dose estimates are required; identification of the target and source combinations for which the previous assumption is clearly invalid; production of a base of data for monoenergetic radiations with sufficient accuracy to be used in dose calculations; calculation of revised dose estimates, i.e., S-values. The extension of this code to include head and neck models, gall bladder models, and kidney models are discussed. 2 refs.
