Detailed scheme of the structure of SSTR2-expressing tissue incorporating the in vivo alpha particle generator model and relevant pharmacokinetic parameters of free 212Bi. [212Pb]Pb-SSTA and [212Bi]Bi-SSTA are assumed to follow the same PK throughout the tissue. Free 212Bi in the vasculature binds linearly with RBC and HWPP followed by free 212Bi diffusion and uptake by tissue cells. The free daughter 208Tl is assumed to have the same permeability surface area product as that for free 212Bi so that it diffuses between interstitial and vascular compartments and redistributes in the circulation. The alpha-emitting 212Po decays at the site of its production.
