This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the peak skin dose (PSD) associated with radiation skin injury and the fluoroscopic pulse rate or target vessel during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. We consecutively included 213 patients who underwent PCI procedures. The fluoroscopic time (FT), total number of cine frames...

Orthophosphate-based phosphors have been used widely as efficient materials for the luminescence applications. Thermoluminescence (TL) properties of luminescent materials help us to find the suitability of the phosphors for the TL dosimetric application. In this work, a series of Dy3+ doped and Mn2+-codoped sodium yttrium phosphate Na3Y(PO4)2 phosp...

The experiences of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents showed that dosimetry was the essential tool in the emergency situation for decision making processes, such as evacuation and application of protective measures. However, at the consequent post-accidental phases, it was crucial also for medical health surveillance and in further adapt...

Positron emission tomography (PET) plays an increasingly important role in research and clinical applications, catalysed by remarkable technical advances and a growing appreciation of the need for reliable, sensitive biomarkers of human function in health and disease. Over the last 30 years a large amount of the physics and engineering effort in PE...

BackgroundThe relationship between the mean absorbed dose delivered to the tumour and the outcome in liver metastases from colorectal cancer patients treated with radioembolization has already been presented in several studies. The optimization of the personalized therapeutic activity to be administered is still an open challenge. In this context, ...

PurposeFractionated peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE is increasingly applied as an effective treatment for patients with disseminated neuroendocrine tumors. In parallel to dose planning before external beam radiation therapy, dosimetry is also needed to optimize PRRT to the individual patient. Accordingly, absorbed d...

Objectives CT is an essential diagnostic tool in health care. However, CT delivers relatively high levels of radiation which has been associated with an increased risk of childhood cancer. To address this, we evaluated patterns and time trends of CT use among children in Finland during the period in which changes in pediatric CT imaging practices w...

A patient with Recurrent Anaplastic Meningioma of the left temporal lobe was being planned for treatment. Using the same target volumes and organs-at-risk, we compared the treatment plans for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy, Proton Therapy and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy. The results showed that BNCT provides the best dosimetry amongst the three...

Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is, by all standards, a radiation therapy. As such, according to Euratom Directive 2013/59, it should be optimized by a thorough treatment plan based on the distinct evaluation of absorbed dose to the lesions and to the non-tumoural liver (two-compartment dosimetry). Since the dosimetric prediction with 99mTc ...

Paired imaging/therapy with radiolabeled somatostatin receptor (SSTR) antagonists is a novel approach in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The aim of this study was to compare tumor uptake of 68Ga-DOTA-JR11 and 177Lu-satoreotide tetraxetan (177Lu-DOTA-JR11) in patients with NETs. As part of a prospective clinical trial, 20 patients with metastatic NETs...
