In this manuscript the thyroid is described by a new model. Efficiencies of a NaI(Tl) detector, for 364 keV photons, are calculated using Monte Carlo simulation. Contributions from thyroid size, detector placement and tissue overlay thickness, to the efficiency uncertainty, are evaluated considering the thyroid of a 12 year old subject as a limit for the adult thyroid. For a shielded 3" x 3" NaI(Tl) detector, placed at 20 cm from the neck, a contribution of 18% to the efficiency uncertainty was found.
在本手稿中，甲状腺由一种新模型描述。使用蒙特卡罗模拟计算了碘化钠（铊）探测器对364 keV光子的效率。以一名12岁受试者的甲状腺作为成人甲状腺的极限，评估了甲状腺大小、探测器放置和组织覆盖厚度对效率不确定性的影响。对于一个屏蔽的3英寸×3英寸碘化钠（铊）探测器，放置在距颈部20 cm处，发现其对效率不确定性的影响为18%。
