Abstract
Thyroid cells are arranged in spheres called follicles of different sizes, in which most of the iodine in the body concentrates. For dose assessment in follicles, it is necessary to consider specific emissions of iodine isotopes in the calculation. Hence, the aim of this work was to evaluate the contribution of 131I and short-lived iodines to the absorbed dose in thyroid cells. Thus, the interaction of emissions from isotopes with follicles was carried out using the MCNP4C code. The results showed that the contribution of short-lived iodines for absorbed dose per disintegration is about 70%.
