Short introdcutory lectures will summarize the basics of in-vivo counting, Monte Carlo Methods and Voxel models. The biggest part of the course will be hands-on-training, centered on an exercise in KIT‘s in-vivo lab. Based on a „case study“ the exercise will guide the participants step by step through a Monte Carlo calibration of an in-vivo counter using voxel phantoms. Lecturers and tutors will be known experts on Monte Carlo methods and in-vivo monitoring from European Institutions collaborating in EURADOS working groups on computational (WG6) and internal dosimetry (WG7). Course material will beprovided in printed and digital form at the course. The Monte Carlo code used throughout the course will be MCNPX. Thus all participants are required to have at least a basic knowledge of MCNP. For the exercise part of the course you should bring a laptop with a licensed copy of MCNP to work on this. Alternatively participants may work in groups.
