Analysis of a computational problem involving complex voxel geometries.
This communication briefly summarises the results obtained from the 'International comparison on MC modeling for in vivo measurement of Americium in a knee phantom' organised within the EU Coordination Action CONRAD (Coordinated Network for Radiation Dosimetry) as a joint initiative of EURADOS working groups 6 (computational dosimetry) and 7 (internal dosimetry). Monte Carlo simulations using the knee voxel phantom proved to be a viable approach to provide the calibration factor needed for in vivo measurements.
