Michael G. Stabin, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee.
Written by one of the world's leading experts, this text describes in detail the use of internal dose calculations in nuclear medicine. While radiation therapy with external sources of radiation always employs calculations of dose, this is not routinely done in nuclear medicine therapy. This book discusses how to do dose calculations for diagnostic nuclear medicine drugs which is needed during drug approval. It also touches on how to perform more and better dose calculations in the future.
Basic principles of dosimetry calculations. Current anthropomorphic models for dosimetry. Use of animal models in internal dose calculations. Special dosimetry models. Dose calculations for diagnostic pharmaceuticals. Dose calculations for therapeutic pharmaceuticals. Current pharmaceuticals used for therapy. The need for patient-individualized dosimetry in therapy. Normal tissues. Tumors. Future needs and prospects.
