Rhenium-188 Production in Hospitals, by W-188/Re-188 Generator, for Easy Use in Radionuclide Therapy
Rhenium-188 (Re-188) is a high energy β-emitting radioisotope obtained from the tungsten-188/rhenium-188 (W-188/Re-188) generator, which has shown utility for a variety of therapeutic applications in nuclear medicine, oncology, and interventional radiology/cardiology. Re-188 decay is accompanied by a 155 keV predominant energy γ-emission, which could be detected by γ-cameras, for imaging, biodi...
متن کاملPatient-specific radiation dosimetry for radionuclide therapy of liver tumors with intrahepatic artery rhenium-188 lipiodol.
A clinically practical algorithm has been developed for the treatment of liver cancer by the administration of rhenium-188 ((188)Re)-labeled lipiodol via the hepatic artery. This algorithm is based on the "maximum tolerated-activity" paradigm for radionuclide therapy. A small "scout" activity of (188)Re-labeled lipiodol is administered to the patient before the actual therapeutic administration...
متن کاملRhenium 188: The Poor Man's Yttrium
After the landmark, IAEA trial confirming the potential of intra-arterially used Re 188 Lipoidol for the treatment of inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it was surprising to note that none of the participating centers took this work forward. To a nonnuclear physician or scientist, it would seem baffling, but we in NM are well aware of the difficulties in instituting a new radionuclide t...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibodies Radiolabeling with Rhenium-188 for Radioimmunotherapy
Rhenium-188, obtained from an alumina-based tungsten-188/rhenium-188 generator, is actually considered a useful candidate for labeling biomolecules such as antibodies, antibody fragments, peptides, and DNAs for radiotherapy. There is a widespread interest in the availability of labeling procedures that allow obtaining 188Re-labeled radiopharmaceuticals for various therapeutic applications, in p...
متن کاملFeasibility of high activity rhenium-188-microsphere in hepatic radioembolization.
BACKGROUND This paper describes the feasibility of intra-arterial high-activity administration of (188)Re-microspheres. METHODS Patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases or hepatocellular cancer (HCC) received single treatments with (188)Re-microspheres. The administered activity was calculated to give a liver dose of 100 Gy. From post-therapeutic scans and urine sampling, the do...
