Radial Diffusion and Power Function Retention of Alkaline Earth Radio-isotopes in Adult Bone
JOHN H. MARSHALL & CLAUDE ONKELINX
Radiological Physics Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois.
THE retention of alkaline earth radioisotopes in skeletal systems can be approximated by the power function1 
where b is a fraction between 0.0 and 0.5, t is the time after intravenous injection and 
is a short time which for adult dog and man is the order of 1 day. A physiological explanation for this form of retention function is now presented which may be applicable to normal adult bone.
