Estimation of Electron Absorbed Fractions in the Extrathoracic Airways

Abstract: Dose calculations using the respiratory tract model presented in Publication 66 of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) frequently predict that the basal cells of the anterior portion of the nose, the extrathoracic region ET1 of the model, are the most highly irradiated tissue of the body. The dose to the basal cells is averaged over a layer of tissue 10 microm thick located at a depth of 40 microm into the airway. Reported here are the results of a series of absorbed fraction calcula… Show more
