Left column: Target organ. Middle column: mGy/MBq in adult male under condition of no intracellular FDG leakage. Right column: mGy/MBq in adult male under condition of 25% initial FDG leakage.
aThe Christy-Eckerman phantom is hermaphroditic and includes both male and female organs.
bColon absorbed dose is an average of the doses to the upper (ULI) and lower (LLI) large intestine (S2 File).
