Abstract:
1. A method for detecting a radioactivity contamination of internal parts and external parts of a whole body, the method comprising: receiving a whole body within a radioactivity whole body detection apparatus via an entrance or a door installed at one side of the radioactivity whole body detection apparatus; measuring radioactivity values of the whole body by radioactivity detection units installed on the front, rear, left, and right portions of the radioactivity whole body detection apparatus, wherein the radioactivity detection units are fixedly installed to be long in a vertical direction on the front, rear, left, and right portions of upper and lower parts of the radioactivity whole body detection apparatus as upper detection units and lower detection units, respectively; and determining whether or not a detection target of the whole body has been contaminated by radioactivity based on the radioactivity values detected by the detection units, wherein the upper detection units compare radioactivity values detected from the front and rear portions and compare radioactivity values detected from the left and right portions, and the lower detection units compare radioactivity values detected from the front and rear portions and compare radioactivity values detected from the left and right portions in the same manner to thereby determine whether or not the internal parts or external parts of the body have been contaminated by radioactivity.
