As a consequence of fetal radiosensitivity, the estimation of internal dose received by a fetus from radiopharmaceuticals applied to the mother is often important in nuclear medicine. A …
The major effect of ionizing radiation in cells is to destroy the ability of cells to divide by damaging their DNA strands. Extensive researches are leading to an understanding that the …
Purpose The purpose of this study was to provide updated radiation dose from diagnostic exams performed for pregnant patients suspected of pulmonary embolism ( PE ) using the …
Dose due to neutrons resulting from high-energy linear accelerator is not detailed in routine treatment planning, though this information is potentially important for better estimates of …
This study aimed to investigate a shielding design against neutron and photon rays from neutron irradiators based on Am–Be sources, using the Monte Carlo simulation. Different …
This paper presents boundary representation (BREP) models of pregnant female and her fetus at the end of each trimester. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (…
Despite the concerns about prenatal exposure to ionizing radiation, the number of nuclear medicine examinations performed for pregnant women increased in the past decade. This …
SPECT imaging is one of the common modalities used to examine kidney disease. The radiopharmaceuticals such as 99mTc-MAG3, 99mTc-DTPA, and 99mTc-DMSA are commonly …
This work presents internal dosimetry estimates for diagnostic procedures performed for thyroid disorders by relevant radiopharmaceuticals. The organ doses for 131 Iodine, 123 Iodine …
Computational models of the human body have gradually become crucial in the evaluation of doses absorbed by organs. However, individuals may differ considerably in terms of organ …
