Abstract:
A new method using the Monte Carlo code PENELOPE for ionization chamber simulation has already been successfully used for calculating calibration factors needed for the measurements of radionuclides with photon emission (2003, Appl. Radiat. Isot., to be published). This work has been continued at (Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel) in order to calculate the calibration factors for radionuclides with short half-lives used in medical services. Activity measurements of 18F, 99mTc,111In and 123I using the calculated calibration factors were obtained with standard uncertainties equal to 0.6% for 18F, 99mTc and 1.5% for 111In and 123I.
