Monte Carlo-based estimation of patient absorbed dose in 99mTc-DMSA, -MAG3, and -DTPA SPECT imaging using the University of Florida (UF) phantoms [PDF]
SPECT imaging is one of the common modalities used to examine kidney disease. The radiopharmaceuticals such as 99mTc-MAG3, 99mTc-DTPA, and 99mTc-DMSA are commonly employed for pediatric patients. It is generally accepted that children organs are more sensitive to radiation than adults, due to their growth rate.

Role of AI in Theranostics: Towards Routine Personalized Radiopharmaceutical Therapies [PDF]
We highlight emerging uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of theranostics, focusing on its significant potential to enable routine and reliable personalization of radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPTs). Personalized RPTs require patient-individual dosimetry calculations accompanying therapy.

Close contact restriction periods for patients who received iodine-131 therapy for differentiated thyroid cancer [PDF]
Objective. Patients treated with radionuclide therapy may require restrictions on certain activities for a period of time following treatment to optimise protection of the public and ensure the legal dose limit is not exceeded. Software may be used to calculate necessary restriction periods for an individual based on longitudinal dose rate measurements
