Dosimetry of internal emitters.
Response and toxicity prediction is essential to rational implementation of cancer therapy. The biologic effects of radionuclide therapy are mediated via a well-defined physical quantity, the absorbed dose, which is defined as the energy absorbed per unit mass of tissue. The concepts, basic definitions, and different approaches to the clinical implementation of absorbed dose estimation are revi...
متن کاملRadiation doses and risks from internal emitters.
This review updates material prepared for the UK Government Committee Examining Radiation Risks from Internal Emitters (CERRIE) and also refers to the new recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and other recent developments. Two conclusions from CERRIE were that ICRP should clarify and elaborate its advice on the use of its dose quantities, equivalent ...
متن کاملA Microdosimetry model of kidney for nephrotoxicity due to internal radiation therapy
Introduction: We describe a nephron-based dosimetry model for renal toxicity for radiopharmaceutical therapy suited to the nonuniform activity distribution of radiopharmaceutical. In radiopharmaceutical therapy, renal toxicity is observed while whole-kidney and renal cortex absorbed dose values are below toxicity thresholds established by external beam and targeted radiope ptid...
متن کاملInception of standards for internal emitters, radon and radium.
THERE are three basic radiation protection standards which have their roots in observations on man. The detailed guidance for various situations of radiation exposure is derived in several ways from these three basic standards, or bench marks. The three basic standards are: (1) for external X-rays and y-rays, (2) for internal emitters, specifically radium, and (3) for inhaled radioactive aeroso...
متن کاملTowards Quasi-biological Nanodosimetry
The increasing utilization of charged particle beams for therapeutic purposes requires designing novel detector systems which shall be capable of assessing radiation quality for a diversity of ion species. It is shown that the pattern of energy deposition in thermoluminescent phosphors and biological tissue contains conceptual parallels. The correlation of physical and radiobiological parameter...
