Fic, 88.--Bateman coefficients for the growth and decayof ?*Ra and ?8Th

same proportionsaf,f2/fife amongthe tissues as do 28Th

atoms of type III, and with a whole-bodyretention of

fifz. Type I 28Th atoms, however, must be treated

somewhatdifferently since they do not growzn vivo from

8Ra and, therefore, cannot depend on theratio fi/fi .
Thus it cannot be expected that type I “*Th atoms will
behave in the same manneras the atomsof types IT and
IJ; rather they bear an analogy with type I *8Ra

atoms. In the case of #8Ra, one is interested in the

tion: what fraction of the atoms in the injectior
terial is carried by the Thorotrast particles? For 1
8Th, exactly the same question arises. Therefor

analogy with ?8Ra it will be assumed that the v
body retention of type I ?8Th atomsis fz and th:
retained atomsare distributed among the tissues |
time of measurement in the proportions af2/fe.
