This three-day course covers internal dosimetry fundamental concepts and methods. Students will gain an understanding of radiation risks associated with internal sources of radiation and the methods for detection and analysis of dose. The class will provide a balance of classroom lecture as well as hands-on practical sessions where actual internal dose case studies will be evaluated, and lessons learned will be presented. Students will gain knowledge on available software and other tools to aid them in assessing both internal dose, including IMBA, and Varskin+.
Major concepts to be covered in class will include:
- Internal Radiation exposure and dose concepts
- Basic concepts of intake and biokinetic modeling
- Internal radiation dose calculations from bioassay results
- NCRP wound intake modeling (use of Varskin+)
- Manual dose calculations and use of IMBA for dose calculations
