General Expressions for the Volume of Organs in the MIRD-Phantom and Their Use to Arrive at an Indian ''Reference'' Man

摘要

The general expressions for the volume of body organs have been developed, when their equations are assumed to be of the same form as in the MIRD phantom. Scaling down is then carried out by introducing factors based on the average weight and height of a group of Indian adult males (workers in various units of Department of Atomic Energy, India). The general expressions for the volume of the body organs will be found handy to use when the actual data of the organs (ratios of the lengths of their axes and the volumes) become available.
