In this presentation, Dr. Lorenzo Mercolli, Medical Physicist at the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, reviewed and compared the standard dosimetry methodologies. Additionally, he discussed the challenges of personalized dosimetry in the case of Y-90 radioembolization and gave an example of personalized dosimetry for diagnostic imaging with Rubidium-82 chloride.
The talk was followed by a Q&A where attendees asked questions to Dr. Mercolli.
Dr. Lorenzo Mercolli is a medical physicist at the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital in Switzerland. After almost seven years at the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health he joined Inselspital in 2021. His current research focuses on different applications involving non-standard radionuclides.
Voxel dosimetry™ is CE marked and has 510(k) clearance for wide range of therapy and imaging isotopes* - making it the only complete voxel dosimetry software on the market suitable for personalized dosimetry.
Organ Dosimetry™ provides a seamless workflow, enabling the user to perform all steps using only one interface.
OLINDA/EXM® is the most widely used software for standardized dose calculations for diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals.
Theranostics is a very promising personalized approach to treating cancer, using diagnostic imaging to identify if target receptors are present on cancer cells, followed by precision internal radiation treatment that targets these receptors.
