In 1990, a joint Nordic-Russian project was initiated in order to make independent estimations of the effective dose to selected groups of inhabitants in a highly contaminated area around the city of Novozybkov in the western Bryansk region of Russia. The inhabitants were living in six villages with initial contamination levels of (137)Cs between 0.9 and 2.7 MBq m(-2). Some villages had been de...

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 calcu...

Accurately calculating the dose for patients in cancer treatment is a crucial task. Currently, there are many methods as well simulation software calculation, most of which have certain limitations terms flexibility, ease use, and error organ’s borders when at voxel level using traditional Monte Carlo method. However, GAMOS developers implemented an application specifically nuclear medicine dos...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to determine whether high-dose radioactive iodine (na131i) outpatient treatment of patients with thyroid carcinoma is a pragmatically safe approach, particularly for the safety of caregivers. methods: a total of 79 patients completed the radiation-safety questionnaires prior to receiving high-dose radioactive iodine treatment. the questionnaire studied th...
