Effective dose from radiopharmaceuticals [PDF]
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 1992 The effective dose, as defined by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP 1991), provides a possibility of expressing the radiation risk to patients undergoing different radiodiagnostic procedures by means of a single figure.

Absence of a dose-rate effect in the transformation of C3H 10T1/2 cells by α-particles [PDF]
, 1987 The findings of Hill et al. (1984) on the greatly enhanced transformation frequencies at very low dose rates of fission neutrons induced us to perform an analogous study with -particles at comparable dose rates. Transformation frequencies were determined

The correction for the gamma-ray component in neutron therapy [PDF]
, 1980 Neutron beams for therapy always contain some gamma ray contamination that varies with depth and with distance from the beam axis. The problem therefore arises how the varying gamma ray contribution should be accounted for in dose specification.

Effective dose estimation for oncological and neurological PET/CT procedures
EJNMMI Research, 2017 BackgroundThe aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the patient effective dose (ED) for different PET/CT procedures performed with a variety of PET radiopharmaceutical compounds.PET/CT studies of 210 patients were reviewed including Torso (n =
