Absorbed dose estimates in positron emission tomography studies based on the administration of 18F-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.
Absorbed doses were estimated after intravenous administration of 18F-labeled radiopharmaceuticals in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies. These radiopharmaceuticals, [18F]-2-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (FDG), 6-[18F]Fluoro-L-Dopa (FDOPA) and 18F-5-Fluorodeoxyuridine (FdUR), are used in clinical research at the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center of Tohoku University. Radiopharmaceutical biok...
متن کاملDose Absorbed by Technologists in Positron Emission Tomography Procedures with FDG
The objective of this work was to evaluate radiation doses delivered to technologists engaged in different tasks involving positron emission tomography (PET) studies with FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose). This investigation was performed in two French nuclear medicine departments, which presented significant differences in their arrangements and radiation safety conditions. Both centers administered ab...
متن کامل18F-FDG PET in pregnancy and fetal radiation dose estimates.
UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to estimate the fetal radiation exposure resulting from (18)F-FDG PET procedures performed in pregnant patients with malignancies. METHODS Five pregnant patients with a biopsy-proven diagnosis of malignancy who underwent (18)F-FDG PET studies were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent PET-only studies (and not PET/CT studies) with a reduced ...
متن کاملStaging and functional characterization of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare tumors of the adrenal medulla and extra-adrenal sympathetic chromaffin tissues; their anatomical and functional imaging are critical to guiding treatment decisions. This study aimed to compare the sensitivity and specificity of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) for tu...
متن کاملThorax organ dose estimation in computed tomography based on patient CT data using Monte Carlo simulation
Background: This study presents patient specific and organ dose estimation in computed tomography (CT) imaging of thorax directly from patient CT image using Monte Carlo simulation. Patient's CT image is considered as the patient specific phantom and the best representative of patient physical index in order to calculate specific organ dose. Materials and Methods: EGSnrc /BEAMnr...
