Imaging and therapeutic dosimetry in precision nuclear medicine
Dosimetry is a well-established approach for routine treatment planning in radioligand therapy. The dose of radiation energy absorbed by targeted and surrounding tissue is one of the main parameters that determines the biologic effect of radiation. Therefore, the estimation of absorbed radiation serves as an essential tool for making radiation-based treatments less damaging to the heathy tissue.
The physical and pharmacokinetic interactions of radiopharmaceuticals in the body add complexity to the internal dosimetric process required for radionuclide treatments. Lesion- or organ-based dosimetry approaches can yield parameters that have been extensively studied, such as lesion dose-response correlation, dose-volume histogram and dose heterogeneity map findings. These capabilities allow dosimetric data to offer a more suitable correlation between biologic effect and clinical outcomes.
Register for this webinar today to understand the vital role of dosimetry in enhancing radiation-based treatments and minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
