Description

Induction of radiobiological effects after intratesticular (IT) injection of 110In-oxine or 111In-oxine in Wistar rats were evaluated in the present report. These two radionuclides were chosen because of their different energy deposition patterns. 110In is almost a pure β emitter with no Auger electron emission, whereas 111In emits conversion electrons and Auger electrons. The retention of 111In activity in the testis was measured with a scintillation camera and 110In with a collimated HpGe detector. Measurements were performed immediately after IT injection and repeated over several half-lives. Time-activity curves were generated for each animal and these were used for absorbed dose calculations. The resulting D37 values for spermhead survival were approximately 1.9 Gy for 110In-oxine, and 2.2 Gy for 111In-oxine
