AbstractAbstract
[en] Full text: The locoregional treatment of high-grade gliomas using beta emitter compounds allows delivering high radiation doses in the tumor bed and the brain adjacent tissues of patients suffering these aggressive malignancies. The main goal of this work was to implement patient-specific dosimetry procedures using a voxel-based methodology in order to compute and analyze the three-dimensional doses distributions received by the patients undergoing loco-regional treatment of gliomas with the 188Re labeled MAb NIMOTUZUMAB. A software package called TRIDOSE has been developed to perform the image managing, volume registration, dose calculations and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results, including dose-volume histograms and isodose curves. The dosimetric factors at voxel level for 188Re ('S' values) were estimated using two different methods, Monte Carlo simulations of energy transport and deposition and the integration of the dose kernel functions. A quality control module was also implemented in order to test the software using well-known 3D distribution of activities or counts. The TRIDOSE outputs were compared with other commercial software showing relative differences lower than 1.10% for different sphere sizes. The established dosimetric procedures constitute a useful tool to compute the absorbed doses received by patients undergoing radioimmunotherapy of brain tumors with 188Re-NIMOTUZUMAB. (author)
