Radiation Dosimetry Estimates in Adults
| Radiopharmaceutical | Radiation dose to the breast (mGy/MBq [rad/mCi]) | Organ receiving largest radiation dose (mGy/MBq [rad/mCi]) | Effective dose (mSv/MBq [rem/mCi]) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 99mTc-sestamibi, resting subject | 0.0038 (0.014) | Gallbladder: 0.039 (0.14) | 0.0071* to 0.0090 (0.026–0.033) |
| 99mTc-tetrofosmin, resting subject | 0.0020 (0.0074) | Gallbladder: 0.036 (0.13) | 0.0062* to 0.0080 (0.023–0.030) |
Unless otherwise noted, data are from ICRP Publication 128 (55).
* An updated estimate of effective dose specific to female subjects was provided in Andersson et al. (56).
