description: Models widely used for pediatric dose estimates, introduced almost 20 years ago, do not include the structural anatomy needed for the more precise dose calculations required by several of the newer radiopharmaceuticals. This monograph introduces a series of five pediatric brain models that include the additional structural detail needed for these calculations. Description of the pediatric head and brain models is followed by dosimetric data, and the appendices supply absorbed fractions for monoenergetic photon and electron, and S values for selected radionuclides.
