开发了计算机代码FANTOME-90，用于通过外部光子照射的蒙特卡罗方法计算器官或组织中的当量剂量和有效剂量以及有效剂量当量。该代码处理具有可移动手臂和腿的数学人体模型，该模型源自 MIRD-5 模型。该代码可以通过指定手臂和腿部每个部分的角度，并在其表面佩戴单独的监视器，使模型采取任何姿势。 MORSE-CG 代码被纳入 FANTOME-90 代码中，用于计算从源到器官或组织的光子传输。计算该体模在站立姿势时的有效剂量当量，并与 MIRD-5 体模的计算结果进行比较。他们之间取得的良好一致性表明，对原始 MIRD-5 模型的修改对剂量计算没有显着影响。以不同姿势下计算的有效剂量值为例。
A computer code, FANTOME-90, was developed to calculate the equivalent doses in organs or tissues and the effective dose as well as the effective dose equivalent by the Monte Carlo method for external photon irradiation. The code treats a mathematical human phantom with movable arms and legs, which has been derived from the MIRD-5 phantom. The code enables to make the phantom take any posture by specifying the angles of each part of its arms and legs and wear individual monitors on its surface. The MORSE-CG code is incorporated in the FANTOME-90 code to calculate the photon transport from a source to the organs or tissues. The effective dose equivalent was calculated for this phantom in a standing posture and compared to that calculated for the MIRD-5 phantom. A good agreement obtained between them shows that the modification of the original MIRD-5 phantom gives no significant effect to the dose calculation. The values of effective dose calculated in different postures are given as an example.
