Rethinking Dosimetry: The Perils of Extrapolated External-Beam Radiotherapy Constraints to Radionuclide Therapy
Jonathan Strosberg, Michael S. Hofman, Taymeyah Al‐Toubah, Thomas A. Hope
Abstract
Ongoing discussion within the nuclear medicine community suggests that all radionuclide therapies (RNTs) should include posttreatment quantitative dosimetry as part of standard clinical care. The hypothesis is that fixed administered activities limit the potential efficacy of RNT and increase the
