Based on data gathered in patients by Goodwin et al., Third Int. Radiopharm. Dosimetry Symposium, Oak Ridge, TN, 1980, p. 88-101. Assumed distribution and retention: Initial uptake:
Liver 8.5%, Spleen 23.5%
Platelets have a 9 day survival time, and then are transported to destruction sites, where they have a 10 day biological half time:
Liver 50%, Spleen 25%, Marrow 25%
After leaving the destruction sites, activity is cleared through the urinary bladder with a 6.6 day biological half time. Bladder voiding interval 4.8
hours.

Estimate calculated using phantom of Cristy & Eckerman (Report ORNL/TM-8381/V1 & V7). Bone and marrow model of Eckerman (Aspects of dosimetry of radionuclides within the skeleton with particular emphasis on the active marrow, In Fourth International Radiopharmaceutical Dosimetry Symposium; A.T. Schlafke-Stelson and E. E. Watson eds. CONF-851113, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Oak Ridge, TN 37831, 1986. pp 514-534.) used.
