OEDIPE: a New Numerical Tool for the Personalized Internal Dose Assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within the framework of radiation protection or internal radiotherapy, one of the major stakes is to determine in a most realistic possible way the dose received by every patient. In this purpose, a tool called OEDIPE, French acronym for “tool for personalized internal dose assessment”, was developed at IRSN associating numerical voxelized phantoms, created with anatomical images, and Monte Carlo calculation. After a presentation of the principal functionalities two examples illustrating the potential detailed demonstrating the interest and the potenrial of the software OEDIPE in case of internal contamination and in internal radiotherapy leads.

OEDIPE : A Personalised Internal Dosimetric Tool Associating Voxel- Based Phantoms with Monte Carlo Calculation for Nuclear Medicine
In nuclear medicine and particularly in internal radiotherapy, one of the major challenges is to determine the dose for each patient. Current internal dosimetric estimations are based on the Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) formalism and use standard mathematical models. These standard models are often far from a given patient morphology and do not allow to perform patient-specific dosime...

UNLABELLED Dosimetric calculations are performed with an increasing frequency before or after treatment in targeted radionuclide therapy, as well as for radiation protection purposes in diagnostic nuclear medicine. According to the MIRD committee formalism, the mean absorbed dose to a target is given by the product of the cumulated activity and a dose-conversion factor, known as the S factor. S...
