Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to develop the method of measuring neutron and gamma-ray dose separately. We successfully measure the neutron and gamma-ray dose separately using a neutron shield and a converter with the combination of a glass dosimeter. It was also confirmed that two-dimensional dose distribution was able to obtain using a fluorescent microscope with high spatial resolution. According to experiments of the dose distribution with discrimination of neutron and gamma-ray for each organ using whole body phantom, the consistent result, compared with traditional measurement method, was successfully obtained.
