  • * Taken from ICRP publication No. 53. Data were determined on basis of organ and whole-body dose measurements performed with listed radioisotopes in humans.

  • 188Re dose distribution to individual organs was calculated using relative organ doses listed for 99mTc.

  • Doses published in (46).
