A radioimmunoimaging and MIRD dosimetry treatment planning program for radioimmunotherapy

Creators

Description

A treatment planning program for radioimmunotherapy employing quantitative Anger camera imaging and the MIRD formalism has been designed and implemented on a clinical nuclear medicine computer. Radionuclide residence times are calculated from linear, mono- and bi-exponential, and cubic spline fits to regional activity versus time curves, and radiation-absorbed dose estimates for all target organs for 131I, 67Cu, and 58 other radionuclides can be calculated. This software has been successfully applied to radioimmunotherapy of B-cell malignancies and breast adenocarcinomas
