4. Description of <strong>the</strong> data presented<br />
___________________________________________________________<br />
Organ dose conversion factors (<strong>in</strong> this case as mean absorbed dose to an<br />
organ, normalised to air kerma free <strong>in</strong> air on <strong>the</strong> axis of rotation) were calculated<br />
for separate <strong>body</strong> sections of 1 cm height at positions vary<strong>in</strong>g<br />
contiguously from <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> head down to several centimetres below<br />
<strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> trunk. In Appendices B, D and E, tables of dose conversion<br />
factors per s<strong>in</strong>gle section are listed for a number of organs. (Appendix<br />
B shows <strong>the</strong> data for <strong>the</strong> baby phantom and Appendix D those for <strong>the</strong><br />
seven year old child; <strong>in</strong> Appendix E <strong>the</strong> data for asymmetrical irradiation<br />
of <strong>the</strong> seven year old child are given.)<br />

The dose to <strong>the</strong> red <strong>bone</strong> <strong>marrow</strong> is given both as dose to <strong>the</strong> red <strong>bone</strong><br />
<strong>marrow</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> s<strong>in</strong>gle <strong>bone</strong>s listed below and as mean dose to <strong>the</strong> <strong>whole</strong><br />
amount of red <strong>bone</strong> <strong>marrow</strong> distributed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>body</strong>.<br />
The <strong>bone</strong>s for which <strong>the</strong> dose to <strong>the</strong> red <strong>bone</strong> <strong>marrow</strong> is listed separately<br />
are:
