| Zusammenfassung: | A system and method for correcting, based on a monitored subject's height and thickness, the net count rate value of a whole-body surface contamination monitoring device. The device includes a height detection means for determining the height of a subject being monitored, and a thickness detection means for determining the thickness of at least a portion of the body of the subject being monitored. The net count rate is based on site calibration factor data and self-shielding factor data, wherein both types of factor data consider the determined height and thickness. |
