Background:

The Bureau of Radiological Health (BRH) developed a specialized computer code for organ dose estimation.
This code was crucial for assessing radiation exposure in various medical and research contexts.
Adaptation of such tools for wider accessibility is essential for advancing radiation safety research.

Purpose of the Study:

To modify the existing BRH organ dose estimation computer code for personal computer (PC) compatibility.
To validate the accuracy and reliability of the modified PC version against established BRH results.
To enhance the accessibility of advanced organ dose estimation tools for researchers and professionals.

Main Methods:

The original BRH organ dose estimation code was adapted and rewritten for execution on a personal computer platform.
Extensive testing and validation were performed by comparing the output of the PC code with data and results published by the BRH.
Correlation analyses were conducted to quantify the agreement between the two versions.

Main Results:

The modified computer code successfully runs on personal computers.
Results generated by the PC code demonstrated a high degree of correlation with the findings reported in official BRH publications.
The adapted code maintains the accuracy and reliability of the original BRH software.

Conclusions:

The PC-compatible organ dose estimation code provides a reliable and accessible tool for radiation dose assessment.
This adaptation facilitates wider use of BRH methodologies in research and clinical settings.
The code is available upon request, promoting further research and application in radiological health.
