EURADOS Training Course “Internal Dosimetry Refresher Course”, February 16th, 2026 in Helsinki, Finland - Call for Registration
The “Internal Dosimetry Refresher Course" (on-site attendance only) will be held on 16th February 2026, 9:00-12:30 EET as a side-event to the EURADOS Annual Meeting 2026 in Helsinki, Finland and is organised by EURADOS WG7.
Following a deliberate or accidental incorporation of radionuclides, the human body is exposed to internal radiations that deliver dose to organs. Internal dosimetry consists in assessing the committed effective dose or organ doses resulting from various intake pathways, it is of interest for occupational exposure, environmental exposure and also nuclear medicine.
Since dose cannot be directly measured in the body one must rely on measurements of the retained activity, for example in the whole body or thyroid, and excreted activity. These measurements can be interpreted thanks to biokinetic and dosimetric models to assess the dose.
The course will introduce the basics of internal dosimetry such as biokinetic and dosimetric models, physico-chemical properties of contaminants, bioassay functions, and different kinds of monitoring. In vivo and in vitro monitoring will be presented: what are their advantages and drawbacks, how to perform such measurements, which techniques should be preferred depending on the radionuclides, the typical detection limits that can be achieved. Finally, the CADORmed-III software will be used to deal with practical cases: from bioassay measurements the internal dose will be assessed.
