Estimating dosimetric quantities of radon progeny using human CT scan data and small tissue volume analysis with Geant4 code system
Estimating the health effects of radon exposure is of great interest because radon is considered the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. The dose-response curve is not well understood at low-dose levels where radon exposure is estimated. Therefore, the health mechanisms of ra...
