Figure 1: The different sources that contribute to the islet absorbed dose and the assumptions made in the model.

From: Whole organ and islet of Langerhans dosimetry for calculation of absorbed doses resulting from imaging with radiolabeled exendin

Figure 1

Under the assumption of homogenous distribution of the islets through the pancreas, the contribution of the surrounding islets and exocrine pancreas is combined in the self-dose of the pancreas (1). Based on previous observations the activity in the remainder of the body is neglected (2).
