Accurate mouse dosimetry for targeted radionuclide therapy was improved using two numerical models. The voxel-based model revealed significantly lower self-absorbed doses in tumors, highlighting the importance of advanced dosimetry in preclinical research.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Targeted radionuclide therapy necessitates precise dose estimation in preclinical animal models.
  • Accurate dosimetry is crucial for evaluating radiopharmaceutical toxicity and efficacy.
  • Existing dosimetry methods in mice may lack the required anatomical precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate two numerical models for enhanced mouse dosimetry.
  • To improve the accuracy of dose estimation in small animal models for targeted radionuclide therapy.
  • To compare the performance of a voxel-based model against a mathematical model.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of digital (voxel-based) and mathematical models from segmented mouse anatomy.
  • Simulation of mono-energetic photon and electron emissions from various organs using Monte Carlo code (MCNP4C).

  • Calculation of radionuclide S-factors considering both electron and photon contributions.

    • Main Results:

    • Voxel-based and mathematical models were developed and compared.
    • The voxel-based model provided revised dosimetric results, significantly reducing self-absorbed doses in tumors (39-69% lower for (188)Re) compared to local energy absorption assumptions.
    • Integration of results over emission spectra accounted for both electron and photon transport.

    Conclusions:

    • Voxel-based models offer a more anatomically realistic approach to mouse dosimetry.
    • Advancements in computational power and Monte Carlo codes reduce simulation time.
    • Cross-dose contributions are significant and should be considered for medium to high energy beta emitters in preclinical mouse studies.
