An EPR model for separating internal 90Sr doses from external gamma-ray doses in teeth.
The problem of retrospectively measuring radiation doses to humans having both external and internal exposures is addressed. A simplified theoretical model is presented by which the internal exposure from a bone seeking radionuclide can be measured and distinguished from an external gamma-ray dose. The model also provides a means of estimating initial acute uptakes of 90Sr.
