Internal Radiation Dosimetry

  • Chapter
Physics and Radiobiology of Nuclear Medicine

Abstract

Radiation can cause detrimental effects on human tissues, and these effects depend on various factors, such as dose, dose rate, time of exposure and so on. This chapter describes the method of calculating absorbed doses in various organs from radionuclides ingested internally either purposely (e.g., medical procedures) or accidentally.
