Table 5 Impact of number of tissues/organs included based on decreasing weight for CE stylized reference phantoms using ICRP Publication 60 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
Tissue/organ (n = 12) | Weight male/female (g) | Effective dose coefficient e (μSv/MBq) | Difference (%) | Stability (%) |

Kidneys | 299/275 | 19.5 ± 3.9 | 15.8 | 29.7 |
Heart wall | 316/240 | 19.7 ± 3.6 | 1.6 | 28.8 |
Urinary bladder content | 200/200 | 23.2 ± 3.1 | 22.9 | 16.2 |
