Abstract

Introduction: Skin dose and depth dose distribution of some BETA SOURCES that can contaminate skin or protective clothing covering the skin have been calculated using VARSKIN2.Materials and Methods: In this research, ABSORBED DOSE to skin and depth dose from the skin surface have been calculated for 90Sr/90Y, 147Pm, 32P beta emitter radioisotopes by using input parameters: activity of source, cover thickness, cover density, air gap thickness, radiation time and different source geometries.Results: ABSORBED DOSE variation was calculated for BETA SOURCES in different source forms, namely, point, 2-D disk, cylindrical, spherical and slab sources. The results show that a cylindrical source causes the minimum damage to skin cells. Therefore, this shape of source is the best with respect to radiation protection.Discussion and conclusion: The VARSKIN2 CODE is a very useful tool for skin dosimetry, as well being fast, accurate and user friendly. It can be used for dose optimization calculations especially for BETA SOURCES over human skin.
