Radiation-Absorbed Dose Estimates from 153Sm-EDTMP in Tibias of 8-Week-Old Male New Zealand White Rabbits
| Tissue | mGy/MBq (rad/mCi) |
|---|---|
| Proximal epiphysis | 141 (522) |
| Proximal physis | 50.0 (185) |
| Proximal metaphysis 1 | 144 (534) |
| Proximal metaphysis 2 | 39.4 (146) |
| Diaphysis | 17.4 (64.5) |
| Red marrow | 5.38 (19.9) |
| Distal metaphysis 1 | 88.2 (327) |
| Distal metaphysis 2 | 42.0 (155) |
| Distal physis | 39.2 (145) |
| Distal epiphysis | 43.4 (161) |
Metaphysis 1 compartment = 3 mm of tissue directly adjacent to physis, corresponding to maximum range of 153Sm β-particle in hard tissue; metaphysis 2 = remainder of tissue.
