Concepts of microdosimetry [PDF]
Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 1975 This is the first part of an investigation of microdosimetric concepts relevant to numerical calculations. The definitions of the microdosimetric quantities are reviewed and formalized, and some additional conventions are adopted. The common interpretation of the quantities in terms of energy imparted to spherical sites is contrasted with their ...

Fluorescent nuclear track detectors for alpha radiation microdosimetry [PDF]
Radiation Oncology, 2018 Background While alpha microdosimetry dates back a couple of decades, the effects of localized energy deposition of alpha particles are often still unclear since few comparative studies have been performed.

Study on Caenorhabditis Elegans as a Combined Model of Microdosimetry and Biology
Dose-Response, 2021 Microdosimetry is a tool for the investigation of microscopic energy deposition of ionizing radiation. This work used Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to estimate the microdosimetric deposition level at the 60 Co gamma radiation.

Note on uncertainty in Monte Carlo dose calculations and its relation to microdosimetry [PDF]
Zeitschrift für Medizinische PhysikPurpose: The Type A standard uncertainty in Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculations is usually determined using the “history by history” method. Its applicability is based on the assumption that the central limit theorem (CLT) can be applied such that the ...
