title: IMIE computer codes: 10 y in the internal dosimetry.
abstract: The 'Individual Monitoring for Internal Exposure' (IMIE) computer codes are the family of interactive tools for interpretation of the bioassay data and individual dose assessments. During 10 y of the IMIE evolution, the extensive experience in the IMIE application has been accumulated and the underlying methodology has undergone essential improvements. The main distinguished feature of the IMIE ideology is the automated numerical analysis of all examined exposure scenarios with the succeeding interactive identification of events of intake(s) and assessment of associated doses. The numerical deconvolution algorithms and the massive library of tabulated 'bioassay/dose response functions' are employed for the processing of an arbitrary pattern of intake and complex exposure conditions. This article discusses details implemented in the IMIE algorithms and examples of IMIE application.
