New calculations for internal dosimetry of beta-emitting radiopharmaceuticals.
The calculation of absorbed dose from internally incorporated radionuclides is based on the so-called specific absorbed fractions (SAFs) which represent the fraction of energy emitted in a given source region that is absorbed per unit mass in a specific target organ. Until recently, photon SAFs were calculated using MIRD-type mathematical phantoms. For electrons, the energy released was assumed...
متن کاملInternal dosimetry for alpha emitters radiopharmaceuticals in biological tissue studied with the FLUKA code
Nuclear medicine clinical practices for neoplasic disease diagnose and treatment are based on the incorporation of α , β and γ radiotracers and radiopharmaceuticals, which might be associated with potential damage. Thus, being necessary accurate dosimetry strategies. In vivo absorbed dose appears as an ideal solution. However, its implementation in clinics does not attain enough reliability. In...
متن کاملAssessment of the Specific Activity of Alpha- and Beta-emitting Radionuclides in Groundwater, Anka, Nigeria
Introduction: After the lead poisoning outbreak came to light in Zamfara State, Nigeria, people living near gold mines were worried about environmental safety, especially drinking water quality. This study examined the gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations in groundwater in different locations of Anka, Zamfara State, Nigeria, to measure the possible radiation dose and potential hea...
متن کاملCellular dosimetry of beta emitting radionuclides-antibody conjugates for radioimmunotherapy
Introduction: The choice of optimal radionuclides for radioimmunotherapy depends on several factors, especially the radionuclide and antibody. The dosimetric characteristics of a non-internalizing and an internalizing monoclonal antibody (MAb) labeled with beta emitting radionuclides were investigated. Methods: Using Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo simulation, we ...
متن کاملA Study on Exponential Fuzzy Numbers Using alpha-Cuts
In this study a new approach to rank exponential fuzzy numbers using -cuts is established. The metric distance of the interval numbers is extended to exponential fuzzy numbers. By using the ranking of exponential fuzzy numbers and using -cuts the critical path of a project network is solved and illustrated by numerical examples. Keywords: Exponential Fuzzy Numbers, -cuts, Metric Dista...
