Internal dosimetry is a branch of radiation protection that focuses on the dose assessment, following the intake of a radioactive substance in the human body. For this purpose, it needs biokinetic models aimed at describing the distribution of the radioactive substances from the point of intake throughout the organs and tissues till the excretion pathways. The compartmental biokinetic models currently used in internal dosimetry are developed with different . . . [Full Text of this Article]
