  2. Table of Contents • Outline of the kidney models in the ICRP/ICRU voxel phantoms and absorbed fraction (AF) • Highlight data • Self-irradiation AFs and cross-irradiation AFs • for photons • Conclusions

  3. Motivation • Our projects • To update kidney dosimetry in internal dose evaluations • 2. Technical issues • The ICRP 2007 recommendations • The evolution of dose quantities using human models • 3. Improvements in this study • The ICRP/ICRU voxel phantoms + Monte Carlo simulations • Evaluation of absorbed fractions (AFs) for the Kidneys

  4. ICRP/ICRU voxel phantoms Presented in ICRP Publ.110（2009) Adult male Adult female • Adult Reference Male • height:1.76m mass:73.0kg • voxel size: • 2.137×2.137×8.0 mm3 • Adult Refernce Female • height:1.63m mass:60.0kg • voxel size: • 1.775×1.775×4.84 mm3 Application of the kidneys of ICRP/ICRU voxel phantoms

  6. Absorbed fraction (AF) AF: the fraction of energy emitted as a specified radiation type in a source region, which is absorbed in a target tissue Cross-irradiation AFs AFs are essential for internal effective dose evaluations target (brain) AF = øi (rT←rS) 0 ≤ øi (rT←rS) ≤ 1 øi (rT←rS) depend on the type and energy of the radiation, the size, shape, composition of tissue, the distance between rT and rS, and the composition of the intervening tissue. source (kidneys) Corresponding to ICRP 2007 ! AF evaluations for ICRP/ICRU voxel phantoms e.g. MIRD 5 type phantom

  7. Monte Carlo simulations • Kidney models • ICRP/ICRU adult male and female voxel phantoms • Source distribution • Uniformly distributed in the muti-region kidney • -cortex, medulla and pelvis- • (mono-energetic photons in 10keV-10MeV) • Simulation code • EGS4-UCSAF • Cross-section data • Electron:ICRU 37 Photon:PHOTX • Statistical uncertainties • FSD within 5%

  8. Self-irradiation AFs (1) MIRD kidney model* Cortex Pelvis *From MIRD Pamphlet 19

  9. Self-irradiation AFs (2)

  10. Cross-irradiation AFs MIRD kidney model* Cortex Medulla Pelvis Medulla the largest differences 2.6-3.3 times AF for MIRD *From MIRD Pamphlet 19

  11. Conclusions • Photon absorbed fractions for the multi-region kidneys of the ICRP/ICRU voxel phantoms were evaluated using EGS4-UCSAF code. • The self-irradiation AFs agree well with those evaluated with the MIRD kidney model. • The self-irradiation AFs are smaller than those for single-region kidney models. • The cross-irradiation AFs are different from those for the MIRD kidney model in the low-energy region.
