Uncertainties in internal dose calculations for radiopharmaceuticals.
This paper presents a systematic analysis of the inherent uncertainty in internal dose calculations for radiopharmaceuticals. A generic equation for internal dose is presented, and the uncertainty in each of the individual terms is analyzed, with the relative uncertainty of all terms compared. The combined uncertainties in most radiopharmaceutical dose estimates will be typically at least a fac...
متن کاملNew calculations for internal dosimetry of beta-emitting radiopharmaceuticals.
The calculation of absorbed dose from internally incorporated radionuclides is based on the so-called specific absorbed fractions (SAFs) which represent the fraction of energy emitted in a given source region that is absorbed per unit mass in a specific target organ. Until recently, photon SAFs were calculated using MIRD-type mathematical phantoms. For electrons, the energy released was assumed...
متن کاملDosimetry Calculations of Radiopharmaceuticals
Abstract. The goal of this project is to determine the absorbed dose of radiation to a patient using 99mTc-MAA as a tracer for a lung scan using the MIRD formula accounting only for the radiation dose contributed by the target organ. The radiation dose for other organs to the target organ is considered negligible as the uptake of 99mTc-MAA from other organs is less than 1%. In addition to calcu...
متن کاملVoxel-based mouse and rat models for internal dose calculations.
UNLABELLED The ability to estimate absorbed doses in experimental animals to which radiolabeled material has been administered may be important in explaining and controlling potential radiation toxicity observed during preclinical trials. Most previously reported models for establishing doses to small animals have been stylized and mathematically based. This study establishes dose factors for i...
متن کاملForward and Backward Uncertainty Quantification in Optimization
This contribution gathers some of the ingredients presented during the Iranian Operational Research community gathering in Babolsar in 2019.It is a collection of several previous publications on how to set up an uncertainty quantification (UQ) cascade with ingredients of growing computational complexity for both forward and reverse uncertainty propagation.
