Abstract
Estimating absorbed doses to children from external and internal radiation sources has become important to the nuclear industry and pediatric nuclear medicine. the design of mathematical representations of children of ages newborn, 1-year, and 5-years old, referred to as pediatric phantoms, establish a meaningful model for use in estimating radiation dose to children. The newborn (neonate) phantom is described. (CH)Keywords
