Development of methods to assess the predictive power of pre-therapy imaging for selective internal radiation therapy
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-12-31)
Pre-therapy Technetium-99m (99mTc)-MAA SPECT may be used to predict the 90Y absorbed dose in selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), while post-therapy 90Y bremsstrahlung SPECT may be used to measure the delivered ...
Comparison of 90Y SIRT predicted and delivered absorbed doses using a PSF conversion method.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-07-30)
PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to develop and apply a method to correct for the differences in partial volume effects of pre-therapy Technetium-99 m (99mTc)-MAA SPECT and post-therapy Yttrium-90 (90Y) bremsstrahlung ...
Radiation protection aspects for alpha therapies.
(EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA, 2023-03-01)
The use of alpha emitting radiotherapeutics is increasing, with further growth expected due to a number of clinical trials currently running involving new alpha emitters. However, literature concerning radiation safety ...
Effects of Respiratory Motion on Y-90 PET Dosimetry for SIRT.
(MDPI, 2022-01-14)
Respiratory motion degrades the quantification accuracy of PET imaging by blurring the radioactivity distribution. In the case of post-SIRT PET-CT verification imaging, respiratory motion can lead to inaccuracies in ...
Abdo-Man: a 3D-printed anthropomorphic phantom for validating quantitative SIRT.
(SPRINGER, 2016-08-05)
BACKGROUND: The use of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is rapidly increasing, and the need for quantification and dosimetry is becoming more widespread to facilitate treatment planning and verification. The aim ...
IPEM topical report: current molecular radiotherapy service provision and guidance on the implications of setting up a dosimetry service.
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-12-22)
Despite a growth in molecular radiotherapy treatment (MRT) and an increase in interest, centres still rarely perform MRT dosimetry. The aims of this report were to assess the main reasons why centres are not performing MRT ...
