A systematic evaluation has been performed to study how specific absorbed fractions (SAFs)
vary with changes in adult body size, for persons of different size but normal body stature …

The phantoms used in standardized dose assessment are based on a median (ie, 50th
percentile) individual of a large population, for example, adult males or females or children …

In internal dosimetry for both nuclear medicine and radiation protection, the adult
morphology is represented by a limited number of anthropomorphic models that may not be …

Internal radiation dose estimates for diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures are typically
calculated for a reference individual. Resultantly, there is uncertainty when determining the …

Objective: Nuclear medicine technologists rely on a single dosimeter to measure their work-
related dose. Estimates of whole-body effective dose are based on the assumptions that the …

Clinical radionuclide therapy studies are commonly preceded by studies with small animals.
Reliable evaluation of therapeutic efficacy must be based on accurate dosimetry. This study …

Nearly one in five workers in nuclear medicine is likely to receive more than the legal dose
limit for the skin of 500 mSv per year according to a recently completed ORAMED study [1 …

As therapeutic uses of radionuclides in nuclear medicine increases, the use of patient-
specific methods for calculation of radiation dose becomes more important. In this …

Purpose: This study aimed to provide a comprehensive patient‐specific organ dose
estimation across a multiplicity of computed tomography (CT) examination protocols …

Dosimetric calculations are performed with an increasing frequency before or after treatment
in targeted radionuclide therapy, as well as for radiation protection purposes in diagnostic …
