Estimation and calculation of radiation dose of copper-64 for nuclear medicine usage
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Radioactive materials used in nuclear medicine are the radioisotopes or drugs that are identified with radioisotopes. A radiopharmaceutical transfusion is one of diagnostic methods and a radiation value approved should be measured. The nuclear medicine images of diagnostic methods can be made by a gamma camera (γ-camera). In this article, we used MCNPX2.4 for internal dosimetry assessment when the 64Cu radiopharmaceutical is in brain, heart or breast for imaging or treatment.
