Table 5 Measured mean (± SD) effective dose coefficient (mSv/MBq) for 124I-mIBG in adult patients, extrapolated mean values for reference paediatric patients, and projected mean (± SD) values for 123I-mIBG and 131I-mIBG in adult patients. Values within parentheses are provided by ICRP publication 53 for 124I-mIBG and publication 80 for 123I-mIBG and 131I-mIBG [15, 18]

From: Biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of 124I-mIBG in adult patients with neural crest tumours and extrapolation to paediatric models
