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
