Development of kinetic and anatomical models for brain dosimetry for internally deposited radionucldies

"This Commentary examines current information on the accumulation, distribution, and retention of radionuclides in the brain and the extent to which that information can be used to improve estimates of dose to potentially radiosensitive regions of the brain from internal emitters, with emphasis...
