Biological model based on ICRP 53 (data gathered in human subjects).

Kidneys * = 0.012 hour Gallbladder contents * = 0.77 hour
Liver * = 0.80 hour Small Intestine * = 1.79 hour
Upper Large Intestine * = 2.34 hour Lower Large Intestine * = 1.14 hour
Urinary bladder * = 0.53 hour Remainder of body * = 0.14 hour

Dynamic bladder model with 4.8-hour voiding interval

Estimate calculated using phantom of Cristy & Eckerman (Report ORNL/TM-8381/V1 & V7)
