Effect of calculation method on kidney dosimetry in ¹⁷⁷Lu-octreotate treatment

Abstract

Absorbed doses in the kidneys from systemic radionuclide therapy that are measured by the WKV method and SV method cannot be directly compared. There were regional differences within kidneys for the uptake of ¹⁷⁷Lu-octreotate. Two SPECT/CTs are sufficient for kidney dosimetry based on our new calculation method.
