The relevance of dosimetry in precision medicine

Michael Lassmann, Uta Eberlein
2018 Journal of Nuclear Medicine  
The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the most recent technologic developments in state-of-the-art equipment and tools for dosimetry in radionuclide therapies. This includes, but is not restricted to, calibration methods for imaging systems. In addition, a summary of new developments that consider the influence of smallscale dosimetry and of biologic effects on radionuclide therapies is given. Finally, the current limitations of patient-specific dosimetry such as bone-marrow dosimetry or dosimetry of α-emitters are discussed.
