Note:This thesis deals with radiation dosimetry and radiation risk issues related to the administration of ionizing radiation to human volunteers. A computer program based on MIRDOSE2, using recent MIRD data regarding specific absorbed fractions, radiopharmaceutical residence times and human phantoms, was designed to calculate radiation absorbed doses to organs of the body for 59 radionuclides (130 radiopharmaceuticals) commonly used in medical imaging with particular consideration of positron emission tomography (PET). The program assists in the design of efficient scanning protocols involving administration of a single radiopharmaceutical, or a sequence of several labeled compounds, by providing information on the maximum permissible dose...
