ABOUT: This radiation dose tool provides references to recommendeded adult guidelines for protocol selection and injected activity. Broad estimates for effective dose and absorbed dose to the critical organ are provided. These dose estimates are for standard models and should not be considered patient-specific under any circumstance. For more information on the use of effective dose in Nuclear Medicine, please read Appropriate Use of Effective Dose and Organ Dose in Nuclear Medicine.

ICRP 128: Based on dosimetry models originally proposed in 1990 using 'stylized' anthropomorphic phantoms developed by Cristy and Eckerman (1987). Effective doses are based on organ weighting factors from ICRP 60. These tables contain a mix of published estimates from ICRP (Publications 53, 80, 106) and dosimetry provided by Michael Stabin.

RADAR 2017: RAdiation Dose Assessment Resource, a committee of SNMMI, generated dose estimates using a set of anthropomorphic phantoms (Stabin et al. 2012), which are based on the recommended body and organ masses given in ICRP Publication 89 (ICRP 2003). The effective dose estimates use organ weighting factors from ICRP 103. These tables currently contain fetal dose information for a subset of the tracers.
