Description
In this report, the Commission provides biokinetic and dosimetric models for 33 radiopharmaceuticals as well as recommendations related to breast-feeding for mothers, who have undergone a nuclear medicine investigation. The report is based on Addenda 3-9 to ICRP Publication 53. Addenda 3-7 have been available on the ICRP web site (www.icrp.org) as interim reports. The work has been carried out in a joint Task Group of ICRP Committees 2 and 3.
