ASW2.WBC
Module for Whole Body Spectrometers
Description
The module Whole Body Spectrometer ASW2.WBC is designed to perform measurements and process spectra using various types of whole body spectrometers. The module allows you to sum spectra from several detectors when using multi-detector measuring systems. Based on the obtained spectra, the module calculates the activity of incorporated radionuclides in the human body, its uncertainty, an assessment of the effective expected dose, as well as a factor of conformity as a criterion of danger to the body. The module allows you to save received data and create reports.
Special features
Multi-detector measurements: The module allows for the summation of spectra from multiple detectors and multi-channel analyzers, providing more reliable measurement results with greater statistics.
Radionuclide activity calculation: Based on the spectra, the module calculates the activity of incorporated radionuclides in the human body and their uncertainty.
Effective dose assessment: ASW2.WBC enables the assessment of the effective expected radiation dose for the body.
Factor of conformity: The module computes a compliance index, which serves as a criterion for the danger to the body and allows for a quick assessment of the level of radiation exposure.
Data storage and report generation: The obtained data can be saved, and reports can be generated for further analysis and use.
Application
To use the module ASW2.WBC, you need to launch the ASW2 software and click on the button corresponding to the desired module in the main toolbar. After that, the module window will open, where the user can specify the necessary parameters and perform measurements.
The module parameters are initially defined by the manufacturer of whole body spectrometer, but can be changed for more precise tuning. To do this, the user can open the parameter window for the relevant task and make the necessary changes.
The reference data file for calculating the expected dose assessment is in *.xml format. It includes dose coefficients, anthropometric parameters, effective half-life of incorporated radionuclides for different body geometries, and other relevant information.
The panel displaying measurement geometry - it is useful option, which shows how to position the detection device relative to the human body to perform the measurement. An image for each task can be customized by the user in the parameter section according to the real configuration of the spectrometer.
