Title: Suggested reference values for regional blood volumes in children and adolescents

Abstract

Estimates of regional blood volumes (BVs) in humans are needed in dosimetric models of radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals that decay in the circulation to a significant extent. These values are also needed to refine models of tissue elemental composition in computational human phantoms of both patients and exposed members of the general public. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) in its Publication 89 provides reference values for total blood content in the full series of their reference individuals, to include the male and female newborn, 1 year-old, 5 year-old, 10 year-old, 15 year-old, and adult. Furthermore, Publication 89 provides reference values for the percentage distribution of total blood volume in 27 different blood-filled organs and tissues of the reference adult male and adult female. However, no similar distribution values are provided for non-adults. The goal of the present paper is to present a volumetric scaling methodology to derive these values for the same organs and tissues at ages younger than the reference adult. Finally, literature data on organ-specific vascular growth in the brain, kidneys, and skeletal tissues are also considered.
