Practical Applications of Internal Dosimetry

Internal Radiation Dosimetry: Models and Applications

Internal radiation dosimetry has a fundamental and growing role in planning nuclear medicine therapies with radionuclides. The principle of nuclear medicine therapy is to destroy pathologic tissues through the irradiation with the ionizing radiation emitted by properly chosen radionuclides, while preserving other organs and tissues from unnecessary exposure to the same radiation. In order to re...

Dosimetry of internal emitters.

Response and toxicity prediction is essential to rational implementation of cancer therapy. The biologic effects of radionuclide therapy are mediated via a well-defined physical quantity, the absorbed dose, which is defined as the energy absorbed per unit mass of tissue. The concepts, basic definitions, and different approaches to the clinical implementation of absorbed dose estimation are revi...

InRaDoS: An internal radiation dosimetry computer program

Introduction: Internal radiation dosimetry is important from a radiation protection point of view and can help to optimize the radiation dose delivered to the workers, public, and patients. It has a rather simple protocol but needs a large amount of data. Therefore, it is difficult to do on a routine basis. The use of computer programs makes internal radiation dosimetry simpler...

Development of Prototype Iranian male pelvic phantom for internal dosimetry

Introduction: Existing phantoms have been constructed based on Caucasian, non-Caucasian and race-specific datasets. According to previous studies made efforts to present Korean- specific phantoms and Chinese female phantom based on CVH dataset due to compare the resulting internal dosimetry with the Caucasian based data showed possible racial difference in human anatomy between ...
