title: The health physics of xenon-127.
abstract: Dosimetry calculations were performed for clinical ventilation studies in which xenon-127 was used in place of xenon-133. A graphical method for obtaining the maximum permissible concentrations for a facility that uses both isotopes is presented. Shielding requirements are also described.
