Abstract

Abstract Introduction: This work aims to calculate the ambient and personal dose equivalent conversion coefficients. Material and methods: The conversion coefficients have been calculated using MC simulation. Additionally, this paper proposes a new method that depends on an analytical approach. Results: The obtained results in good agreement between MC and an analytical approach were observed. The obtained results were compared to those published in ICRU 57 report. Conclusions: We deduced that the analytical approach is as effective and suitable as the MC simulation to calculate the operational quantity conversion coefficients.
