Radioisotope Studies Utilizing a Low Level Whole Body Counter and Clinical Applications of Activation Analysis. Progress Report

摘要

Studies on dosimetry included: comparative dosimetry of iodocholesterol compounds; exp 59 Fe and exp 111 In dosimetry in abnormal human subjects; dosimetry of intraperitoneally administered exp 32 P colloid; evaluation of the standard man model for dosimetry calculations; radiosensitivity of the thyroid during exp 131 I therapy; environmental monitoring of nuclear power reactors; distribution and excretion of lung imaging agents; and organ distribution and excretion of /sup 99m/Tc--Sn--Methylene diphosphonate. Supporting systems development studies were conducted on hardware and software. Hardware studies included microprocessor controlled quantitative scanner and digital computer interface for a longitudinal tomographic scanner for human dosimetry studies. Software studies included acquisition, reconstruction, and display of tomographic data, simulation and modeling, and computer programs in nuclear medicine. (ERA citation 04:001468)
