Abstract
The phantoms used by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) are mathematical models of the anatomy of the human body, required for dosimetric calculations. The improvements made to these phantoms, particularly more recently, reflect considerable advances in scientific methodology and computing power, together with changing expectations that the best science will be used and will be communicated openly. The highly sophisticated models in this publication should ‘future-proof’ the Commission in readiness for anticipated requirements for new calculations.

期刊介绍:
The International Commission on Radiological Protection was founded in 1928 to advance for the public benefit the science of radiological protection. The ICRP provides recommendations and guidance on protection against the risks associated with ionising radiation, from artificial sources as widely used in medicine, general industry and nuclear enterprises, and from naturally occurring sources. These reports and recommendations are published six times each year on behalf of the ICRP as the journal Annals of the ICRP. Each issue provides in-depth coverage of a specific subject area.
