Calculation tools

Although in most cases measurement is the best way to determine the radiation dose rate or radiation dose, there are situations where calculation methods are more suitable or can replace measurement.

Below is a list of calculation methods and the uses for which they are suitable:

• AASI - program for simulating energy spectra in alpha spectometry
• PCXMC program for X-ray examinations (stuk.fi) 
• Calculator for the use of reference levels for lung scans in children (.xlsx) (in Finnish)
• Calculator for the use of reference levels for paediatric CT scans (.xlsx) (in Finnish)
• Calculation tool for the determination of the MGD (.xlsx) (in Finnish)
• Example calculations for radiotherapy protection calculations (.xlsx) (in Finnish)
• Calculator for determining radiation dose to airline workers: e.g. CARI-6 (faa.gov)
