Abstract

Fractional radon retention is similar in rats, dogs, and man at equal times after radium injection. Fractional radon retention increases with time after radium deposition. This is attributed to increase in mineral density, increase in crystal size, and decrease in diffusion coefficient as bone crystals mature. Fractional radon retention is similar among whole bones in a given animal, but much lower in teeth. A mathematical theory expressing fractional radon retention in terms of mineral density, crystal size, and difiusion coefficient is discussed. (auth)
