The paper deals with the physical skull phantoms Bundesinstitut fuer Strahlenschutz and BPAM-001, which are used in order to calibrate in vivo detection systems for estimation of (241)Am activity in the skeleton. Their voxel models were made and used in the Monte Carlo simulations. The results of the simulation were compared with measurements and reasonable agreement was observed. Several aspects such as materials and source distributions used in the models were discussed.
