Abstract
The skin dose arising from the use of 133Xe in the measurement of skin blood flow was calculated for several situations. The importance of prior assessment of radiation dose in any technqiue involving the use of radionuclides was indicated. Cases [human] where particular care must be taken were indicated and practical methods of reducing the dose are suggested.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
