Abstract

Recently High-Definition Reference Korean-Man (HDRK-Man) and High-Definition Reference Korean-Woman(HDRK-Woman) were constructed in Korea. The HDRK phantoms were designed to represent respectively reference Koreanmale and female to calculate effective doses for Korean by performing Monte Carlo dose calculation. However, the MonteCarlo dose calculation requires detailed knowledge on computational human phantoms and Monte Carlo simulation techniquewhich regular researchers in radiation protection dosimetry and practicing health physicists do not have. Recently the UFPE(Federal University of Pernambuco) research group has developed, and opened to public, an online Monte Carlo dosecalculation system called CALDOSE_X(www.caldose.org). By using the CALDOSE_X, one can easily perform Monte Carlo dosecalculations. However, the CALDOSE_X used caucasian phantoms to calculate organ doses or effective doses which are limitedfor Korean. The present study developed an online reference Korean dose calculation system which can be used to calculateeffective doses for Korean.
