Calculation of Equivalent Dose for Auger Electron Emitting Radionuclides Distributed in Human Organs

Dosimetry of Auger-Electron-Emitting Radionuclides

Monte Carlo evaluation of Auger electron-emitting theragnostic radionuclides

Monte Carlo Evaluation of Auger Electron-Emitting Theranostic Radionuclides.

UNLABELLED Several radionuclides used in medical imaging emit Auger electrons, which, depending on the targeting strategy, either may be exploited for therapeutic purposes or may contribute to an unintentional mean absorbed dose burden. In this study, the virtues of 12 Auger electron-emitting radionuclides were evaluated in terms of cellular S values in concentric and eccentric cell-nucleus arr...

Cellular 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 ...

Gamma Dose Rate Measurement and Dose Rate Calculation for Sensitive Organs in the Vicinity of Hot Springs in Kerman Province

Introduction:  All of  the  people worldwide  are exposed  to  low levels  of  radiation. Cancer induction  and  genetic disorders are among the hazards of low level exposure. In some cases, radiation close to hot springs is  higher than normal areas due to a high concentration and the decay products of Ra-226. Given the use of hot  springs by the general public  because  of their therapeutic p...
