Abstract
In this study, virtual calibration of a whole-body monitoring system was performed using a library of 100 statistical phantoms. The counting efficiency (CE) was obtained as a function of time after 131I radionuclide intake. The results highlight the necessity of using statistical phantoms in the process of virtual calibration because it was found that the CE for 131I is not a simple function of height, weight, BMI or any other morphometric variable. Despite, it was shown that the counting efficiency is strongly dependent on the geometrical location of the thyroid and the thickness of soft tissue between the thyroid and the detectors.
