the time integrals in fluids concentrated from extracellular fluid, and in

the tissues from which these fluids are derived, so we have then for the
time

integral

of

the

concentrations

in

the concentrated fluids,

10°5 x R, where R is the fluid-to-plasma ratio.

1.25 x

Now R is a poor choice

inasmuch as it also represents Roentgens, but, nonetheless, R is meant to
béthe fluid-to-plasma ratio.
Thedose factor then for extrathyroidal iodide concentrating tissues,
is this 1.25 <fes R d/g x 0.2 MeV, corresponding to the energy from the

disintegration-of7iodine-131 times the conversion factor of 51.2 rad per
(uCi-d/g)-MeV,

and!this

is

then

the resulting

expression

for

the

dose

factor for extrathytértdal iodide concentrating tissues.

Next viewgraph, please: (LRA-16).

We also made an attempt to estimate

a dose factor for iodine-13i-to_the lactating breast by making note of the
recoveries of, well,

jodine-131> or of the dietary iodide in milk.

Now

0.03 - 26.8% of I-131 administered to..women at the conclusion of the last
breast feeding, resulted in the recovery of this range of values of the
isotope in milk.

In the case of dietary stable iodide, ten percent or less

of the daily ingested iodide is secreted in milk.

And this varies

inversely with the dietary intake of iodine=So the transfer coefficient

and time integral then of the concentrationin milk following a single
intake of iodide, assuming a milk secretion rateof one liter per day, and
22

this seems to be a reasonable value for nursing mothers, leads to, well, a

23

transfer coefficient, or time integral of 0.1 of a dayper liter, and this

24

is equivalent to 10-4 d/ml.

25

time integrals in milk and lactating breast, so we have 10-4 d/g for the

26

time integral

27

times the 0.2 MeV times the conversion factor, and we get about 1.0 x 10-3

28

rad/uCci.

Now again we assume the. equivalence of the

in the lactating breast.
