Nuclear medicine dosimetry.

چکیده
A brief overview is provided of the history of the development of internal dose methods for use in nuclear medicine. Basic methods of internal dosimetry and the systems that have been developed for use in nuclear medicine are described. The development of the MIRD system and the International Radiopharmaceutical Dosimetry Symposium series is outlined. The evolution of models and tools for calculating dose estimates is reviewed. Current efforts in developing more patient-specific methods, particularly for use in therapy calculations, development of small scale and microdosimetry techniques, and of relating internal radiation doses to observed biological effects are described and evaluated.

Introduction: One of the main concerns in administration of radiotracers, especially in therapeutic arm, is the amount of delivered dose to the different organs. Individual variations of anatomy, physiology and underlying pathology in the patients lead to alteration of administered activity. In the current study we preclinically applied internal dosimetry using an animal mod...

Dosimetry for targeted radionuclide therapy is a relatively young field. Although initial work can be traced back to the late 1940s (1), the MIRD Committee formalism that forms the foundation for most current approaches was published in the mid 1970s (2), and the drive for improved dosimetry to meet the requirements of targeted radionuclide therapy did not begin until the 1980s. During this per...
