This manuscript reports the results of an investigation into the suitability of the ferrous sulfate-benzoic acid-xylenol orange (FBX) dosimeter for measurement of small absorbed doses caused by radionuclide solutions mixed with the dosimeter solution. The FBX dosimeter exhibited a linear dose response as a function of activity for two common radiopharmaceuticals, /sup 99m/Tc sodium pertechnetate and /sup 131/I sodium iodide. Conditions under which the FBX dosimeter may be used with radionuclide solutions were studied and were found to be amenable to routine use by laboratories possessing relatively unsophisticated instrumentation. That any radionuclide could be studied using this dosimeter appears likely.
