Evaluation of biokinetics and dosimetry in [131I]-NaI therapies: whole-body images quantification versus lower limb region by Bianca Lemos Lima, Jamille da Silveira Almeida, Maria da Penha Albuquerque Potiens, Rogério Alexandre Pelissoni, Marcelo Tatit Sapienza, Carlos Alberto Buchpiguel, José Willegaignon

“…It has been observed that the absorbed dose values provided by thigh region dosimetry represent 87% of the absorbed dose value provided by whole-body dosimetry. Supposing the percentage difference between the values obtained by both dosimetric methods, it was possible to find a average correction factor that can be applied to the dosimetry data based on ROI in the thigh region, making dose values absorbed to become similar in the two dosimetric methods. …”
