摘要

Numerical models and anthropomorphic phantoms are frequently used in radiation protection studies for dose evaluation purposes. In the present paper an integrated tool consisting of a plastic phantom coupled with a voxel model is presented. The voxel model was created from the image data set of a CT scan of the plastic phantom. The model was validated through a procedure that consisted in irradiating the plastic phantom and simulating the same irradiation conditions with the voxel model. The possibility of employing such couple of models in radiation protection studies was demonstrated calculating the organ dose conversion coefficients and comparing them with those evaluated with voxel models derived from human tomographic scans.
