Abstract: This project will determine the whole-body detector response of the Radioactivity Group’s Virtual Gamma-ray Range system to provide support in the event of an emergency radiological incident. The project will evaluate the system’s response to a variety of body geometries, and relate the system’s response to handheld in vivo gamma-ray detectors readings that would be used during radiological emergency response.
