Internal
Dosimetry
Estimating radiation doses from radionuclides
in the body is a complicated procedure. Auxier
& Associates (A&A) performs the necessary
metabolic modeling and energy deposition calculations
to determine doses for either prospective (dose
prediction) or retrospective (dose reconstruction)
applications.
Reconstruction of internal doses requires interpretation
of bioassay data and the knowledgeable use of
dynamic mathematical models for specific organs
and intake circumstances. It is necessary to
collect reliable, representative data regarding
the amount and distribution of the radionuclides
in the environment and specific organs. Interpretation
requires understanding the sensitivity of the
model and the biological system to a wide range
of physical and chemical conditions.
A&A has successfully applied these various
scientific methods and calculations for either
extensive or limited data sets in many visible
and peer reviewed situations. We have participated
in all aspects of bioassay and internal dosimetry,
including:
• Design and implementation
of bioassay programs for a wide variety
of situations
• Application of computer
models to internal dosimetry projects
• Interpretation of in vivo
and in vitro bioassay
