Description

It has been presented fdose computer program which calculates approximate radiation dose to embryo/fetus in some nuclear medicine applications cover all of radiopharmaceuticals include iodine isotopes. Approximate embryo/fetus radiation dose can be calculated for four cases which are early pregnant, 3-month pregnant, 6-month pregnant and 9-month pregnant using this program. On the other hand, there are some constraints to this program about some special cases. Except these cases, fdose program is useful. Also it provides practical solution for calculation of approximate embryo/fetus dose of nuclear medicine pregnant patients
