Shielding resources for four common radiopharmaceuticals utilized for imaging and therapy: Tc‐99m, F‐18, I‐131, and Lu‐177

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The use of radioactive materials in the United States has been tightly regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other entities for many decades. In 2015, however, the Joint Commission began to require hospital‐based nuclear medicine departments to conduct shielding designs and evaluations for radioactive material areas ...

Design and validation of a novel dosimetry phantom for motion management audits

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background We present a novel phantom design for conducting end‐to‐end dosimetry audits for respiratory motion management of two anatomical treatment sites. The design enables radiochromic film measurements of the dose administered to the target throughout the respiratory cycle (motion‐included) and the dose delivered to the time‐averaged ...

Is it necessary for patients with potentially resectable esophageal squamous cell cancer to receive routine preoperative brain MRI/CT?

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 13, Issue 23, Page 3304-3309, December 2022., 2022
In this prospective cross‐sectional study, we first analyzed the value of brain MRI/CT for potentially resectable thoracic esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) by investigating the incidence of preoperative brain metastases, and concluded that preoperative brain MRI/CT should not be recommended as a routine preoperative examination for ESCC.
