<abstract>The aim of this work was to create a numerical model of scintillation detector and to check whether such detector can be used for the measurements of internal contamination in emergency conditions. The purpose of the measurements would be only detection of possible contamination, without identification of radioactive isotopes, and hence without estimation of effective dose. However, in emergency conditions, it is sufficient for the rapid selection of a group of contaminated persons, who should be subjected to careful inspection in the laboratory conditions. The calculations were performed for three detector positions relatively to the phantom. The distribution of dose rate was also calculated, in order to find the best geometry for dose rate measurements around human body. Another problem under consideration was the possible influence of radioactive contamination in the environment on the registration of the gamma spectrum emitted from the whole body phantom. Performed calculations showed that there is a possibility to measure internal contamination outside laboratory, even in contaminated area.</abstract>

<DIV align=left> Polish Journal of Medical Physics and Engineering (PJMPE) is an official publication of the Polish Society of Medical Physics (established in 1965, member of IOMP and EFOMP). The Journal has been published since 1995 and is a direct successor of Postępy Fizyki Medycznej (Advances in Medical Physics) which was published in Polish from 1966 to 1992. Members of the Editorial Board represent leading institutes and universities in Poland. The Journal is on the list of the scientific journals published by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education and is indexed by several services, including Scopus and Web of Science - Emerging Sources Citation Index. The Journal publishes original contributions in medical physics and biomedical engineering, involving new methods and techniques, clinical applications, technological developments, research studies, and experimental science. Most of the publications concern the following subject categories: radiotherapy (including brachytherapy), radiology (X-ray, magnetic resonance, and ultrasound imaging), nuclear medicine (diagnostics and therapeutic applications), biosignals, biomedical engineering, and radiation protection (in medicine). We accept manuscripts from all over the world and particularly invite young researchers from Poland to publish their first papers in the Journal. PJMPE is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal. The issues are published quarterly (March, June, September, December) in electronic form on the Journal’s website (ISSN 1898-0309). Each manuscript has a DOI number assigned (digital object identifier). A printed version of the Journal used to be available in the past (ISSN 1425-4689). All manuscripts published since 2007 are freely available to all readers as PDF files on Journal’s website (older issues have not been digitized).
