BACKGROUND Scintillation camera imaging is used for treatment planning and post-treatment dosimetry in liver radioembolization (RE). In yttrium-90 (90Y) RE, scintigraphic images of technetium-99m (99mTc) are used for treatment planning, while 90Y Bremsstrahlung images are used for post-treatment dosimetry. In holmium-166 (166Ho) RE, scintigraphic images of 166Ho can be used for both treatment p...

Toxicokinetic studies undertaken within the National Toxicology Program are intended to aid the design of toxicology and carcinogenicity studies, help interpret the results of toxicology and carcinogenicity studies with respect to the relationship between toxic effects and external exposure, and define the parameters of dose, distribution, metabolism, and elimination that can be used in human r...

The aim of this study was not only to obtain basic technical prerequisites for the establishment of capacity of biological dosimetry at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) but also to stimulate interest in biological dosimetry research in Ghana and Sub-Saharan Africa. Peripheral blood from four healthy donors was exposed to different doses (0-6 Gy) of gamma rays from a radiotherapy machin...

Organized by Working Group 6 “Computational Dosimetry” of the European Radiation Dosimetry (EURADOS), a group intercomparison exercises was conducted in which participants were asked to solve predefined problems computational dosimetry. The results these comparisons published series articles this virtual special issue Measurements. This paper reviews experience gained from various and highlight...

OBJECTIVES Our purpose was to describe a novel, rapid stress thallium-201 (Tl-201)/rest technetium-99m (Tc-99m) agent myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) protocol (Tl/Tc) with a high-speed MPI scanner and to compare this protocol with a standard rest/stress Tc-99m agent protocol (Tc/Tc) with respect to image quality and radiation dosimetry. BACKGROUND Recent advances in gamma camera technology...

Introduction Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) has made a significant progress in radiation therapy centers in recent years. In this method, each radiation beam is divided into many subfields that create a field with a modulated intensity. Considering the complexity of this method, the quality control for IMRT is a topic of interest for researchers. This article is about the various ...

Introduction: Owing to its optimal nuclear properties, ready availability, low cost and favorable dosimetry, Tc continues to be the ideal radioisotope for medical imaging applications. Most of the bifunctional chelators reported for Tc complexation, suffer from tedious labeling protocols and undesired physicochemical properties. On the other hand, bifunctional chelators based on tetraamine fram...
