Popis: This paper is devoted to an experimental check of a method for performing individual calibration of a spectrometer for human body radiation, using the Monte Carlo method, on 35–40 kg pigs. The 241Am content was measured on a low-energy γ spectrometer with a detector based on highly pure germanium. Tomographic images of pigs were used to calculate, using the MCNP4c2 program, the spectra of absorbed energy in a detector. The experimental results are reproduced with an error of less than 30% for injection of 241Am and less than 10% for 241Am introduced in a capsule.
