A new software, DOSE3D, offers personalized radiation dose calculations in nuclear medicine, overcoming limitations of the standard MIRDOSE3 tool. This allows for more accurate dosimetry, especially for patients with unique anatomies or metastases.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • MIRDOSE3 is the primary software for absorbed dose evaluation in nuclear medicine.
  • MIRDOSE3's fixed anatomic models limit its use for patient-specific dosimetry, particularly for metastases or non-standard anatomies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate DOSE3D, a novel software for personalized absorbed dose calculations in nuclear medicine.
  • To address the limitations of MIRDOSE3 by enabling user-defined phantom modifications.

Main Methods:

  • Developed DOSE3D using the EGS4 Monte Carlo code with combinatorial geometry for anthropomorphic phantoms.
  • Enabled simulation of tumors (spheres) and modification of organ shapes within the phantom.
  • Validated DOSE3D by comparing S values for 131I and 99mTc with MIRDOSE3 for the MIRD adult male phantom.

Main Results:

  • DOSE3D S values showed an average agreement within 20% of MIRDOSE3 results for both 131I and 99mTc.
  • Demonstrated DOSE3D's capability to assess the dosimetric impact of bone metastases on testes.
  • Highlighted significant differences in S values between paired organs (lungs and kidneys) due to localized radiopharmaceutical uptake.

Conclusions:

  • DOSE3D is a valid tool for dosimetric calculations, showing good agreement with MIRDOSE3.
  • DOSE3D provides valuable supplementary data for a more patient-specific approach to internal radiation dosimetry.
  • The software's flexibility allows for advanced simulations, including the impact of tumors and asymmetric organ uptake.
