The purpose of this study was to compare estimation of radiation absorbed doses to patients following bone scans with technetium-99m-labeled methylene diphosphonate (MDP) with the estimates given in MIRDose software. In this study, each patient was injected 25 mCi of (99m)Tc-MDP. Whole-body images from thirty patients were acquired by gamma camera at 10, 60, 90, 180 minutes after (99m)Tc-MDP in...

UNLABELLED The OLINDA/EXM version 1.0 personal computer code was created as a replacement for the widely used MIRDOSE3.1 code. This paper documents the basic function of the code and how it is similar to and different from the MIRDOSE software. METHODS After creation of the code and alpha- and beta-testing phases, a premarket notification submission (510(k)) was filed with the Food and Drug A...

Introduction: In this study, organ radiation doses were calculated for the renal agent 99mTc-DTPA in children. Bio-kinetic energy of 99mTc-DTPA was evaluated by scintigraphy and estimates for absorbed radiation dose were provided using standard medical internal radiation dosimetry (MIRD) techniques.Material and Methods: In this applied research, fourteen children patients (6 males and 8 females...

BACKGROUND (S,S)-[F]FMeNER-D2 is a recently developed norepinephrine transporter ligand which is a potentially useful radiotracer for mapping the brain and heart norepinephrine transporter in vivo using positron emission tomography. In this work, we quantified the biodistribution over time and radiation exposure to multiple organs with (S,S)-[F]FMeNER-D2. METHODS Whole-body images were acquir...
