A Proposed Blood Circulation Model for Reference Man

Abstract: As part of the revision of the Reference Man model of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), we have reviewed and reanalyzed available data on blood flow and in previous publications have proposed reference values for total and regional blood volumes, total cardiac output, and the distribution of cardiac output. In this paper we unify these proposed features of the revised Reference Man within the framework of a dynamic blood circulation model and show how the model can be used to pred… Show more

“…Connecting variables of unlabeled and labeled antibody system are total number of antigens in respective organ and physical decay of nuclide. (30). y Liver is supported by direct arterial flow (6.5% of total blood flow), plus portal flow from gastrointestinal tract (16%) plus flow from spleen (3%).…”

“…For the blood flow, F i , to the organs and the corresponding vascular volumes, the values of the blood circulation model for reference man were used (30). However, only vascular spaces, V i , of the organs of interest and of the gastrointestinal tract are explicitly implemented; other vascular spaces (e.g., veins, arteries, and heart) are merged into a single compartment.…”

“…We defined regions of interest (ROIs) We account for the blood present in the organs, which contributes to the intensity of radioactivity of the studied organs. The blood volume per organ was obtained from Leggett and Williams (1995) who provide blood content in percentage of total blood volume for a reference middle-aged man. In the equations for intensity, we added the blood contribution when it could be substantial, i.e.…”

“…Blood flow rates as percentage of cardiac output are given in the ICRP report (ICRP 2003) for the resting middle-aged male adult, based on a compilation of published data by Williams and Leggett (1989) and Leggett and Williams (1995). These data were used to calculate blood flow rates (L/h) for liver (arterial and portal flow), brain, kidney, adipose tissue (fat), muscle/skin and skeleton (without active bone marrow).…”
