A new phantom for calibration or performance testing of whole body counters has been conceptualized. The validity of the design has been validated by Monte Carlo simulations. The simulations have compared the expected counting efficiencies for the new design to those of a conventional phantom; both phantoms were placed in a virtual copy of the Human Monitoring Laboratory's whole body counter. The simulations covered a wide energy range (126-2,754 keV), and the agreement between the two types of phantoms was 0.988 +/- 0.005. Based on these findings, a prototype sliced BOMAB phantom corresponding to a Reference Female will be constructed. If the results were unfavorable, as was not the case, then the expense of building and testing the phantom would have been avoided.
一种用于全身计数器校准或性能测试的新型体模已初步成型。该设计的有效性已通过蒙特卡罗模拟得到验证。模拟将新设计的预期计数效率与传统体模的预期计数效率进行了比较；两种体模均放置在人体监测实验室全身计数器的虚拟副本中。模拟涵盖了较宽的能量范围（126 - 2754 keV），两种体模之间的一致性为0.988±0.005。基于这些发现，将构建一个对应参考女性的切片BOMAB体模原型。如果结果不理想（实际并非如此），那么就可以避免构建和测试体模的费用。
