Radionuclides used for therapy and suggestion for new candidates

چکیده
Targeted radiotherapy has the potential to provide radiation doses from a wide range of radionuclides, some of them suitable for killing single cells while others are more suitable for killing tumor cell clusters of various sizes. A list of 64 radionuclides, including 20 new potential candidates for therapy (73Ga, 75Se, 87mSr, 97Ru, 103Ru, 113Sn, 113mIn, 117Sb, 123Sn, 131Cs, 139Ce, 141Ce, 149Eu, 167Tm, 170Tm, 173Tm, 195Au, 195mPt, 197Pt and 197Hg) were analyzed in terms of the suitability of their energies for killing tumor cells which grow as single, small, intermediate and large clusters. In addition, their possible production routes were studied.

Introduction:The use of beta emitters is one of the effective methods for palliation of bone metastasis. The risk of normal tissue toxicity should be evaluated in the bone pain palliation treatment. Methods: In this study, the Monte Carlo simulation code MCNPX was used for simulation a bone phantom model consisted of bone marrow, bone and soft tissue. Spe...
متن کاملComparison of IVP-simulator and 99mTc-DMSA renal scaning for renal localization and shielding in candidates for radiation therapy [Persian]
To minimize renal radiation in abdomical radiotherapy, shielding of the kidneys is essential. IVP-simulator is used as an standard method. In this study, we used 99mTc-DMSA to localize and shield the Kidneys and we compared this method with IVP-simulator. The size of the kidneys was proven to be larger as compared with IVP method. The mean of the overlap percentage was 81.88 in right and ...

Background & Aims: Two famous methods are commonly used for the measurement of carpal height ratio. Both methods are performed on anteroposterior radiogram and have some shortcomings. We are going to introduce a new method for measuring this index in lateral view of the wrist radiogram' Methods: This cross-sectional and case-control study was conducted on 100 anteroposterior and lateral radiogr...

After designing and constructing a coalescence cell, drop/interface coalescence phenomenon was studied in the absence and presence of single surfactant.Two surface active agents of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 1-decanol were used. Distilled water was used as dispersed phase. Toluene, n-heptane and aqueous 60% (v/v) of glycerol were selected as continuous phases, separately. It was found that ...
متن کاملOptimizing Disparity Candidates Space in Dense Stereo Matching
In this paper, a new approach for optimizing disparity candidates space is proposed for the solution of dense stereo matching problem. The main objectives of this approachare the reduction of average number of disparity candidates per pixel with low computational cost and high assurance of retaining the correct answer. These can be realized due to the effective use of multiple radial windows, i...
