Correction: Radiopharmacokinetic modelling and radiation dose assessment of 223Ra used for treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
EJNMMI Physics volume 12, Article number: 7 (2025)

Correction: EJNMMI Phys 8, 44 (2021)
Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported an error in Table 5.
In Table 5 of our paper [1], we incorrectly cited part of the work of Lassmann and Nosske [2] by giving the value of 3.6 mGy/MBq for the liver absorbed dose coefficient due to alphas after intravenous administration of 223Ra-chloride. The correct value should be 36 mGy/MBq. Consequently, the following text in page 13 of our paper [1] has to be amended:
“The results of the present study were compared to the results of the compartmental modelling of Lassmann and Nosske [20] and were found to be lower (skeletal doses by a factor of 2.3–3.4, colon dose by a factor of 7.2), except for the doses to liver and kidneys, which were found to be higher by a factor of ca. 7.”
Amended text:
“The results of the present study were compared to the results of the compartmental modelling of Lassmann and Nosske [20] and were found to be lower (skeletal doses by a factor of 2.3–3.4, colon dose by a factor of 7.2), except for the dose to kidneys, which was found to be higher by a factor of ca. 7. The dose coefficient to the liver shows a good agreement with the dose estimated by Lassmann and Nosske [2]”.
The authors thank Lassmann and Eberlein for pointing out this error [3] and apologize for the incorrect citation.
The original article [1] has been updated.
