Comparative evaluation of thyroid operational intervention levels depending on age and biokinetic model in nuclear accidents Open
In order to minimize the risk of stochastic effects from thyroid exposure by radioiodine during a nuclear accident, it is essential to implement prompt and timely protective actions based on accurate assessments of thyroid dose. This study…
Radioiodine internal dose coefficients specific for Koreans Open
This study developed internal dose coefficients for radioiodine, tailored to the Korean population, by incorporating the Korean biokinetic model along with the Korean S values. The observed differences in dose coefficients for Koreans comp…
Absorbed dose coefficients for pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer patients undergoing radioiodine therapy Open
The escalating incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in pediatric patients and the resultant growing use of radioactive iodine (RAI) reinforce the need to evaluate radiation exposure to normal tissues and radiation-induced healt…
Absorbed dose coefficients for adult thyroid cancer patients undergoing radioiodine therapy Open
Use of radioactive iodine (RAI) for thyroid cancer patients is accompanied by elevated risks of radiation-induced adverse effects due to significant radiation exposure of normal tissues or organs other than the thyroid. The health risk est…
Organ dose calculator for diagnostic nuclear medicine patients based on the ICRP reference voxel phantoms and biokinetic models Open
The exponential growth in the use of nuclear medicine procedures represents a general radiation safety concern and stresses the need to monitor exposure levels and radiation-related long term health effects in NM patients. In the current s…
Organ dose reconstruction for the radiation epidemiological study of Korean radiation workers: The first dose evaluation for the Korean Radiation Worker Study (KRWS) Open
The Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences has started a radiation epidemiological study, titled "Korean Radiation Worker Study," to evaluate the health effects of occupational exposure to radiation. As a part of this study, …
Bias-corrected <i>H</i><sub>p</sub>(10)-to-Organ-Absorbed Dose Conversion Coefficients for the Epidemiological Study of Korean Radiation Workers Open
Background: The effects of radiation on the health of radiation workers who are constantly susceptible to occupational exposure must be assessed based on an accurate and reliable reconstruction of organ-absorbed doses that can be calculate…
Derivation of External Exposure Characteristics of Industrial Radiography Based on Empirical Evidence Open
Background: This study aims to derive the characteristics of each work type for industrial radiography based on empirical evidence through expert advice and a survey of radiation workers of various types of industrial radiography.Materials…
Age-Specific Thyroid Internal Dose Estimation for Koreans Open
Background: The International Commission on Radiological Protection is preparing to provide reference dose coefficients for environmental radioiodine intake based on newly developed age-specific biokinetic models. However, the biokinetics …
Korean-specific biokinetic model for iodine in radiological protection Open
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recently adopted a detailed biokinetic model for systemic iodine with reference transfer coefficients based on typical worldwide dietary intakes of stable iodine. The regional …
Uncertainty quantification of bioassay functions for the internal dosimetry of radioiodine Open
Bioassay functions, which are provided by the International Commission on Radiological Protection, are used to estimate the intake activity of radionuclides; however, they include considerable uncertainties in terms of the internal dosimet…
Optimal Monitoring Intervals and MDA Requirements for Routine Individual Monitoring of Occupational Intakes Based on the ICRP OIR Open
Background The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has recently published report series on the occupational intakes of radionuclides (OIR) for internal dosimetry of radiation workers. In this study, the optimized mon…
Application of the new ICRP iodine biokinetic model for internal dosimetry in case of thyroid blocking Open
Administration of stable iodine has been considered a best measure to protect the thyroid from internal irradiation by radioiodine intake, and its efficacy on thyroid protection has been quantitatively evaluated in several simulation studi…

Health effects of exposure to radon: implications of the radon bed mattress incident in Korea Open
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive material formed by the slow decay of uranium and thorium found in the earth’s crust or construction materials. Internal exposure to radon accounts for about half of the natural background radiatio…
Verification of Harmonization of Dose Assessment Results According to Internal Exposure Scenarios Open
Background The determination of the amount of radionuclides and internal dose for the worker who may have intake of radionuclides results in a variation due to uncertainty of measurement data and ingestion information. As a result of this,…
Assessment of Applicability of Portable HPGe Detector with In Situ Object Counting System based on Performance Evaluation of Thyroid Radiobioassays Open
Background Different cases exist in the measurement of thyroid radiobioassays owing to the individual characteristics of the subjects, especially the potential variation in the counting efficiency. An In situ Object Counting System (ISOCS)…
