In both the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) schemata of internal dosimetry, the S-value is defined as the absorbed dose to a target organ per nuclear decay of the radionuclide in a source organ. Its computation requires data on th...
