Trabajo presentado en el X Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics and Applications (X LASNPA), 1-6 diciembre 2013. Montevideo, Uruguay.Nuclear medicine clinical practices for neoplasic disease diagnose and treatment are based on the incorporation of α, β and γ radiotracers and radiopharmaceuticals, which might be associated with potential damage. Thus, being necessary accurate dosimetry strategies. In vivo absorbed dose appears as an ideal solution. However, its implementation in clinics does not attain enough reliability. In this sense, different approaches were proposed for internal dosimetry calculations. This work presents a novel analytical-numerical approach for internal dosimetry purposes. Dedicated Monte Carlo simulations were ...
