a–e Plot of BCH data and model-derived curves obtained from of each source organ. The error bars represent the standard deviation for each time point derived from the variability of %IA in multiple patients in each bin of 5-min intervals. The SD was also considered for the compartmental model fitting. In cases when literature data are available (e.g., brain, lungs, heart wall, and kidneys), these data points have been plotted to compare with the model fit to the BCH data. In the lungs, heart wall, kidneys, and liver, data points that are exclusively derived from patients <1 year old (newborns) are indicated in red. Other points (blue) are a composite of binned newborns and 1- to 5-year-olds
