RADAR Guide: Standard Methods for Calculating Radiation Doses for Radiopharmaceuticals, Part 2-Data Analysis and Dosimetry

Abstract

This paper presents standardizedmethods for performing dose calculations for radiopharmaceuticals. Various steps in the process are outlined, with some specific examples given. Special models for calculating time-activity integrals (urinary bladder, intestines) are also reviewed. This article can be used as a template for designing and executing kinetic studies for calculating radiation dose estimates from animal or human data.
