SPECT/CT 90Y-Bremsstrahlung images for dosimetry during therapy
BACKGROUND the characteristics of (90)Y, suitable for therapy, are denoted by the lack of γ-emission. Alternative methods, using analogues labelled with (111)In or (86)Y, are generally applied to image (90)Y-conjugates, with some inevitable drawbacks. New generation SPECT/CT image systems offer improved Bremsstrahlung images. The intent of this brief communication is to show that high quality (...
متن کاملDetection of 90Y extravasation by bremsstrahlung imaging for patients undergoing 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan therapy.
UNLABELLED Extravasation of therapeutic (90)Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan can cause significant injury. Detection of extravasated (90)Y using a γ-camera for patients undergoing (90)Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan therapy is a challenge because of the inherently low efficiency of bremsstrahlung imaging and the interference of prompt and scattered photons from (111)In that are still present in the body at the ti...
متن کاملBiokinetic and Dosimetry of 90y-dotatoc Therapy for Neuroendocrine Tumours
Biokinetic model is a mathematical model which describes the behavior of the Y in human body during the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours. This paper presents calculation of absorbed doses in human organs in biokinetic model Y for DOTATOC therapy. For this purpose, the human body is represented by five compartments: blood, kidneys, urinary bladder, tumour and liver. The input file was develop...
متن کاملPatient dosimetry for 90Y selective internal radiation treatment based on 90Y PET imaging
Until recently, the radiation dose to patients undergoing the 90Y selective internal radiation treatment (SIRT) procedure is determined by applying the partition model to 99mTc MAA pretreatment scan. There can be great uncertainty in radiation dose calculated from this approach and we presented a method to compute the 3D dose distributions resulting from 90Y SIRT based on 90Y positron emission ...
متن کاملQuantitative SPECT and planar 32P bremsstrahlung imaging for dosimetry purpose –An experimental phantom study
Background: In this study, Quantitative 32P bremsstrahlung planar and SPECT imaging and consequent dose assessment were carried out as a comprehensive phantom study to define an appropriate method for accurate Dosimetry in clinical practice. Materials and Methods: CT, planar and SPECT bremsstrahlung images of Jaszczak phantom containing a known activity of 32P were acquired. In addition, Phanto...
