    Study Notes

    Radionuclide Therapy

    • Cancer has been treated with radiopharmaceuticals since the 1940s.
    • The role of a physicist in radionuclide therapy includes:
      • Radiation protection
      • Imaging
      • Dosimetry
    • Imaging can be performed if the radiopharmaceutical is a gamma emitter.
    • There are two types of imaging:
      • Qualitative imaging: does not rely on image correction to determine the absolute levels of activity localized in the patient.
      • Quantitative imaging
