Abstract

The principal xenon radioisotopes used in lung imaging are xenon-127 and xenon-133, which are available as the elemental gas or in a sterile saline solution. Other radioxenons, Xe-129m and Xe-131m, may be contaminants of Xe-127, but because of their shorter half-lives their relative contamination decreases with time. The radiation dose for each of these isotopes of xenon is calculated separately.
