Abstract: In order to obtain detection efficiencies of nine kinds of gamma rays emitted by isotopes deposited in lungs at various measurement geometry, Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code 5 (MCNP5) has been employed to for calculation. The results show that the detection efficiency in different locations of lung is not completely accord with human body’s anatomy structure. The efficiency decreases gradually from lower-right lung, to lowerleft lung, and then to upper-left lung. When the location of detector is fixed, with the increase of energy, the
detection efficiency rises up firstly and then falls down.
