Mean absorbed dose for different distributions of radioiodine in the human multiple follicle model. The mean absorbed dose to the central follicle cell nuclei in the human multiple thyroid follicle model for different relations in radioiodine concentration (homogeneous in each compartment) between follicle lumens and/or follicle cells for (a)¹²³I, (b)¹²⁵I and (c)¹³¹I. The values indicate total mean absorbed dose (blue bars, numbers), and the contribution to the mean absorbed dose from the follicle lumen (red bars) and from the follicle cells (green bars). The error bars indicate the standard deviation of the mean value (SD).
