In this study, a dosimetric study was observed by using Cr-51 gamma radioisotope on liver scintigraphy. In this context, the source organ is determined as liver and it is aimed the evaluation of measuring doses from source organ to selected three critical organs (thyroid, gonad, and brain). An antropomorphic torso phantom has been preferred in the experiments. The measurements of critical organs doses were examined for chronic effects. Moreover, the chronic effect of Cr-51 radioisotope on critical organs was determined as cumulative dose. Thermoluminescent dosimeters were used for chronic dose assessment. In the experiments, lithium fluoride (LiF) (TLD-100) detectors were used and they were provided from Turkish Atomic Energy Authority -Cekmece Nuclear Research and Training Center and calibrated in there. Within this study, the evaluation of the cumulative doses by using Cr-51 for three critical organs was observed with an original setup by using anthropomorphic torso phantom experimentally.

The purpose of this study is to investigate photon attenuation parameters of Colombia Resin-39 (CR-39) lens, which are linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), half value layer (HVL), tenth value layer (TVL), mean free path (MFP), effective atomic number (Zeff) and effective electron density (Neff). MACs were determined theoretically and with simulation in the energy range from 0.01 to 105 MeV. Also, obtained MACs of CR-39 lens were compared with MACs of pure aluminum and lead. Theoretically obtained Zeff values were compared with Zeff results obtained by the computer software.The results of this study are; a) the theoretically obtained MACs values are in agreement with MACs obtained results from simulation software, b) the theoretically obtained Zeff values are in agreement with Zeff obtained by the computer software c) the MACs of CR-39 lens are much lower than MACs of pure lead whereas there is not too much differences between MACs of CR-39 and pure aluminium d) the HVLs, TVLs and MFPs rise with increasing photon energy while the LACs and MACs reduce with increasing photon energy.

In this study, the radiation absorption properties of mortars and plasters used in historical buildings have been investigated. Studied lime concretes contained such additives as brick dust, fertilizer, wet lime, wool, egg white, bone meal, rice, casein, whey, bone ash and tree leaf juice, in different concentrations. The linear attenuation coefficients of gamma rays in lime concretes have been measured at 662, 1773 and 1332 keV. The gamma rays have been obtained from 137 Cs and 60 Co sources and the measurements have been performed using a gamma spectrometer, based on a 3 × 3 NaI(Tl) detector, connected to 16384-channel multi-channel analyser.
