Calculation of the internal radiation absorbed dose of 123I-Annexin V

To estimate absorbed doses by 123I-Annexin V in human, 125I-Annexin V was used as a radiotracer for measuring the distribution of radiolabeled Annexin V in mice. The standard Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) method was used by Mirdose-3 software in dosimetry estimation. The results show that liver and kidney received 2.77 x 10-3 and 2.71 x 10-3 mGy/MBq, respectively. The red marrow received 1.78 x 10-5 mGy/MBq, and the other organs received doses between 1.5 x 10-4 and 10.5 x 10-4 mGy/MBq. The effective dose was estimated at 5.55 x 10-4 mSv/MBq. Human radiation dosimetry can be performed by the mice biodistribution data and important data for clinical safe trial of 123I-Annexin V are provided. (authors)
