Investigation of effect of variations in bone fraction and red marrow cellularity on bone marrow dosimetry in radio-immunotherapy.
A method is described for computing patient-specific absorbed dose rates to active marrow which accounts for spatial variation in bone volume fraction and marrow cellularity. A module has been added to the 3D Monte Carlo dosimetry program DPM to treat energy deposition in the components of bone spongiosa distinctly. Homogeneous voxels in regions containing bone spongiosa (as defined on CT image...
متن کاملBone marrow radiation dosimetry of high dose 131I treatment in differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients
Background: Radiation absorbed dose to the red bone marrow, a critical organ in the therapy of thyroid carcinoma, is generally kept below 2 Gy for non-myeloablative therapies. The aim of this study was to calculate bone marrow radiation dose by using MIRDOSE3 package program and to optimize the safe limit of activity to be administered to the thyroid cancer patients. Materials and Methods: In t...
متن کاملAssessment of cellularity in bone marrow fragments.
Bone marrow cellularity was measured using the Quantimet 720 Image Analyser in 50 biopsy samples. In haematologically normal subjects the percentage cellularity of the marrow was between 40 and 63%. Subjective assessment of cellularity was an unreliable indicator of the quantitative measure.
متن کاملBone marrow cellularity assessed by point-counting.
A simple method for rapid point-counting of bone marrow biopsies is described; the method gave an accurate assessment of cellularity in 100 aspiration biopsy specimens. Measurements of marrow cellularity by the visual point-counting technique correlated well with those obtained with a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer.
متن کاملMRI evaluation of rabbit bone marrow after acute irradiation
Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe modality and useful in characterizing normal and abnormal bone marrow (BM). MRI also presents a more global view of BM than biopsy therefore, it may provide a better understanding of hematologic disorders. The purpose of this study was to monitor radiation-induced alterations of BM in acute phase of irradiation (1-10 day after total body ir...
