%X The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) through its publications recommends the estimation of Specific Absorbed Fractions (SAFs) using voxelized phantoms in order to assess the doses internally absorbed by organs exposed to ionizing radiation. In the present work, we report a large set of SAFs calculated using the ICRP Adult Female (ICRP-AF) phantom. The new Geant4-based code called InterDosi version 1.0 was used to simulate monoenergetic electrons of 20 different energies, ranging from 0.005 to 10 MeV, emitted uniformly from 18 different source organs. In order to estimate SAFs in 169 target organs/regions, 360 Monte Carlo multithreaded simulations were run on 32 CPUs of the HPC-MARWAN-CNRST computing grid. The calculated SAFs were compared to the recent results obtained using GATE 8.1 code and published by the OpenDose collaboration. It is shown that the obtained results are in well-agreement with the reference values, with absolute discrepancies less than 0.6% for a self-absorption condition and less than 5% in almost all energies for a cross-absorption condition. We concluded that InterDosi code might be used for dosimetry of internal electron emitters.
