Based on data gathered in patients - Jacobsson et al, 4th International
Radiopharmaceutical Dosimetry Symposium, CONF-851113, pp. 389-398. Assumed distribution and retention:

Total body 63 % Tb = 32.8 hours 36 % Tb = 3.05 hours 1 % Tb = ñ
Liver 21 % Tb = 32.8 hours 15 % Tb = 3.05 hours 0.3 % Tb = ñ
Spleen 0.6 % Tb = 178 hours
Sal. glands 0.04 % Tb = 32.8 hours
Thyroid 0.005 % Tb = 168 hours
Adrenals 0.02 % Tb = 48.6 hours
Heart wall 0.8 % Tb = 120 hours
Dynamic Bladder Model used (4.80 hour void) 36 % Tb = 3.00 hours 63 % Tb = 33.6 hours
Dose to salivary glands is self-dose only, based on 77 g mass and photon absorbed fractions from MIRD Pamphlet No. 8. Salivary gland activity did not contribute to other organ doses.
