✦ Synopsis

This report provides a summary of the methods and procedures used to create the computational phantoms corresponding to the adult Reference Male and Reference Female from individual-specific tomographic data. The methods and procedures used in this activity have been reported in numerous publications. These phantoms are designed specifically for calculation of the radiological protection quantities corresponding to the effective dose concept of the 2007 Recommendations of the Commission. The phantoms are presented to the radiation protection community in numerical format, with identification of source and target regions of the body in the CD inserted at the back cover of this publication. Due to the numerical nature of the phantoms and earlier publication of the characteristics of the adult Reference Male and Reference Female, this document was not provided for public consultation. The authors acknowledge the comments received from the ICRP Committees, the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU), and selected expert reviewers.

Although being released as an ICRP publication, the present report is a joint publication of ICRP and ICRU.
