The radiation dose to man following the intravenous injection of radiosulphate (Na2(35)SO4).
An estimation of the radiation dose to mans' testes, the critical organ, for radiosulphate (Na2(35)SO4) has been made by a combination of studies on rats and human volunteers. The radiation dose to rats testes and the rate of disappearance of radiosulphate from the blood and urine of humans have been increased. The calculated radiation dose of 7.7 muGy/MBq to mans' testes is lower than previously reported.
