Monte Carlo simulation of trabecular bone remodelling and absorbed dose coefficients for tritium and 14C
Abstract
A Monte Carlo simulation of multiple trabecular bone cavities in adult bone was developed and the absorbed radiation dose factors evaluated for 3H and 14C. The model was developed to assess the dose from radionuclide uptake in quiescent bone, but also the effects of temporal changes in bone turnover by incorporating bone-modelling units (BMU). Absorbed dose fractions were calculated for target regions that include the endosteal layer where …
