Creation and Application of Voxelized Dosimetric Models : An Evaluation of Dose Conversion Factor in Apis Mellifera

Creator:

Gomez Fernandez, Mario Enrique

Abstract:

Over the past decade the International Commission on Radiological Protection has developed a comprehensive approach to environmental protection that includes the use of Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) to assess radiological impacts on the environment. For the purposes of calculating radiation dose, the RAPs are approximated as simple shapes that...

Blood-based gene expression as a biodosimetry model for neuroblastoma patients treated with ¹³¹I-mIBG

Creator:

Edmondson, David A.

Abstract:

Internal dosimetry is challenging and relies on estimates using MIRD or ICRP biokinetic models. To address this, we looked at gene expression analysis in whole blood from radiotherapy patients. Patients with relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma who received ¹³¹I-mIBG at UCSF were used to correlate internal ionizing radiation (IR) dose with...

Beehive model creation for use in determining radiation dose to beeswax and bee larvae

Creator:

Jia, Junwei

Abstract:

Honeybees and honey combs are good indicators of environmental contamination and can be important for dose calculations. In the event of reactor accidents and nuclear weapon testing, the released radioactive materials are likely to be transported through various environmental pathways as well as by humans and animals, including bees. Due...
