title: [Absorbed dose for children and juveniles in nuclear medical diagnostics (author's transl)].
abstract: By means of special models and methods of calculation, values of the specific absorbed dose for the ICRP-reference man were corrected for the application to children and juveniles. For several commonly used radio-pharmaceuticals organ-dose values were calculated. For reasons of comparing the age dependence, values of the effective whole-body dose equivalent were computed. The age-dependence of these values mainly reflects the mass-dependence of the absorbed dose, so that for the administration of an age-dependence amount of radio-pharmaceutical the absorbed whole-body dose is nearly independent of the age, while the organ-dose may vary to a much greater extent.
