摘要：

This study describes the modifications and additions done to the VOXTISS8 adult human voxel phantom (Yale University) in order to create the Male Adult voXel (MAX) phantom, whose organ and tissue masses correspond better to the data recommended by ICRP in publication nos. 23 and 70. The results show good agreement between the MAX organ masses and the corresponding data for the ICRP reference man. Effective dose from external exposure to photons has been calculated for the MAX phantom and compared with similar data from other phantoms, taking into account the differences and communities between the exposure models.
