Table 2 Impact of number of tissues/organs included based on decreasing weight including blood from ICRP Publication 133, ICRP Publication 110 voxelized reference phantoms and ICRP Publication 103 tissue weighting factors, wT, to calculate the effective dose coefficient, e, with the SD. The difference in percent calculated according to Eq. 4 and stability according to Eq. 5
