Averaging of absorbed doses: How matter matters
Abstract Background Dosimetry in radionuclide therapy often requires the calculation of average absorbed doses within and between spatial regions, for example, for voxel‐based dosimetry methods, for paired organs, or across multiple tumors. Formation of such averages can be made in different ways, starting from different definitions. Purpose The aim of

Accuracy and precision of few-time-points renal dosimetry for [<sup>177</sup>Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy: Analysis with nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. [PDF]
Abstract Background Determination of time‐integrated activity (TIA) with a reduced number of imaging sessions is essential for minimizing patient burden and clinical workload in the dosimetry of [177Lu]Lu‐PSMA‐617. One approach to achieve this is by performing single‐time‐point (STP) dosimetry.

Advances in macrocyclic chelators for positron emission tomography imaging
Bifunctional chelators play a key role in radiometal‐based radiopharmaceuticals, affecting the labeling, targeting, and pharmacokinetics of bioconjugations and ensuring the stable complexation of the metal in vivo. The macrocycles have the capacity to form complexes with extremely high thermodynamics, kinetics, and stability compared to acyclic ...

Relationship Between Best Tumor Shrinkage and Progression-Free Survival and Overall Survival in Patients With Progressive Midgut Neuroendocrine Tumors Treated With [<sup>177</sup>Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE: Ad Hoc Analysis of the Phase III NETTER-1 Trial. [PDF]
We analyzed data from the phase III NETTER‐1 study of 177Lu‑DOTATATE for patients with advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors to explore whether tumor shrinkage is associated with durable efficacy. Although patients receiving 177Lu‑DOTATATE had a progression‐free survival (PFS) benefit, no obvious association between best tumor shrinkage and PFS or ...
