Effect of new ICRP recommendations on the effective dose of some new radiopharmaceuticals
Creators
Description
ICRP (1991) has recommended new values to tissue weighting factor WT The effect of changes in 'WT' values on effective dose 'E' for two technetium-99m based agents used for myocardial perfusion studies, have been investigated. Due to different biological behavior, the effective dose due to one compound is higher by 12% than the other for the same administered activity. Using the new values of WT, the effective doses are found to be lower for technetium based agents in comparison to 201T1C1. (author)
