1. Tools for the Advancement of Radiopharmaceutical Therapy
Sammanfattning : Radiopharmaceutical therapy is used to treat cancers and other diseases with radiolabeled pharmaceuticals. The treatment targets specific cells, and the emitted ionizing radiation cause cytotoxic damage. Dosimetry is performed to estimate the absorbed dose from the energy deposited in the body. LÄS MER
2. Radioiodine Therapy of Hyperthyroidism - Simplified patient-specific absorbed dose planning
Sammanfattning : Radioiodine therapy of hyperthyroidism is the most frequently performed radiopharmaceutical therapy. To calculate the activity of 131-I to be administered for giving a certain absorbed dose to the thyroid, the mass of the thyroid and the individual biokinetic data, normally in the form of uptake and biologic half-time, have to be determined.

3. The Importance of Dosimetry and Radiobiology in Nuclear Medicine : Quantitative methods and modelling
Sammanfattning : Nuclear medicine uses radioactive pharmaceuticals for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. The ionizing radiation emitted from the radiopharmaceutical is partially absorbed within the patient's body and internal dosimetry is the method to estimate the absorbed dose to a tumour or risk organ. LÄS MER
4. Internal dosimetry. Macroscopic, small-scale and microscopic perspectives
Sammanfattning : Internal dosimetry deals with the assessment of absorbed dose for radionuclides distributed inside the body. The absorbed dose is in its turn used for correlation with the biological effect caused by the irradiation. LÄS MER
5. Methods for image-based dosimetry and radiobiological modelling in radionuclide therapy
Sammanfattning : In radionuclide therapy (RNT), radioactive pharmaceuticals are administered for therapeutic purposes. Dosimetry, i.e. the estimation of the absorbed dose to various targets, can potentially lead to a better understanding of the therapeutic effects in RNT and allow for individualization of the therapy.
