Abstract
- The article compared the Human Monitoring Laboratory (HML) and the Normalized Man (NORMAN) voxel phantom with the VIP-Man voxel phantom measured in a scanning detector whole body counter. Results reveal that NORMAN gives a counting efficiency that is 21 percent to 46 percent higher than VIP-Man over the energy range of 122 keV to 1,836 keV. According to the article, voxel phantoms has lower counting efficiencies, perhaps due to the more complex internal structure of the voxel phantoms that offers more signal attenuation or simply due to counting geometry effects.
