Ratios of internal doses deposited in different organs to the whole body when such organ is adopted as source of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose, a Monte Carlo Geant4 study on a male medical internal radiation dose phantom

In the present study, the last stable version of Monte Carlo Geant4 code known as Geant4.10.3 has been used for measuring internal dose ratios to the whole body for about 40 organs. This, by performing a Monte Carlo model of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) inside different organs of medical interna...
