For the case of ^sup 18^F-FDG, a dose was given with no information about placental transfer of the radiopharmaceutical. Recent publications have reported quantitative values for maternal and fetal uptake of ^sup 18^F-FDG in primates and new values for ^sup 18^F-FDG kinetics. In this article, these data are applied to give ra...
