Cesium-137 Decorporation Model.

摘要

A treatment model for Cs-137 internal contamination by Prussian Blue was developed to evaluate efficacy of various treatment regimens. The model estimates Cs deposition, absorption, distribution, retention, excretion, and response to DTPA after an inhalation exposure. It estimates the acute red bone marrow and whole body effective dose as a function of time. Model results compare favorably with human and animal data. Outputs from the model include Cs deposition in the respiratory tract, distribution in tissue compartments over time with and without treatment, excretion rates, and radiation doses to critical organs. Calculations from the model may be used to analyze consequences of exposure to Cs and the effect of treatment.
