Korean-specific internal dosimetry data for radioiodine bioassay and evaluation of the dosimetric impact.

ABSTRACT: Our earlier works focused on exploring the Korean iodine biokinetic model and calculating Korean-specific S values and dose coefficients. Building on this foundation, this study extended our efforts to establish an extensive dosimetry dataset for Korean-specific iodine bioassay. We calculated bioassay functions (e.g., thyroid retention and urinary excretion functions), dose-per-content-functions, and content for the specified doses based on the Korean biokinetic model and dose coefficients previously developed. Also, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the practical impact of using Korean-specific dosimetry data. Compared to the ICRP reference data, the thyroid retention functions for Koreans were significantly lower (for I-131, peaks at 18% vs. 27%). The physical half-liv
