title: Selected noble-gas partition coefficients.
abstract: The Ostwald solubility of 41Ar, 127,133Xe, N13N and CH3 18F in water, saline, blood, plasma, lipids, benzene and bone were measured in vitro. In addition the bone-blood partition coefficients for these gases were determined. For 41Ar, the bone-blood partition function is found to be 1.1 +/- 0.3, whereas for xenon the bone-blood partition coefficient is 0.41 +/- 0.1.
