Abstract:
Radionuclide therapies have been applied in the diverse fields of medicine, and it has been demonstrated the usefulness of it, especially in the field of oncology. Accurate dosimetric assessment is imperative during radionuclide therapy, in order to optimize the treatment efficacy for target sites and to minimize the radiation exposure for normal organ. Recent advancement in imaging technology permits the precise determination of the absorbed dose non-invasively. This imaging based dosimetry can be routinely applicable to the bedside in the near future.
