Therapeutic Applications and Dosimetry of Radiopharmaceuticals with the Help of Compartmental Analysis
Conference paper
Abstract
The successful application of radiopharmaceuticals requires a patient-specific optimization of the activity to be administered, in order to deliver the desired therapeutic dose to the target organ while saving the healthy tissues. For a therapy specifically tailored on the characteristics of the patient, the correct knowledge of the morphology of the regions of interest, of the fractional uptake and of the related kinetics is necessary.
