1. Image Processing for Quantitative Scintillation-Camera Imaging. Application to Radionuclide Therapy
Abstract : Individual-based determinations of the absorbed dose in radionuclide therapy largely rely on absolute measurement of the activity distribution and its redistribution over time. Scintillation-camera imaging is the most commonly employed measuring technique, applied in planar or SPECT mode, sometimes in combination with structural images from CT. READ MORE

2. Parallelizing the Method of Conjugate Gradients for Shared Memory Architectures
Abstract : Solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is an important problem in many fields of science and engineering. For most real-world problems modeled by PDEs, we can only approximate the solution using numerical methods. Many of these numerical methods result in very large systems of linear equations. READ MORE

4. Therapy with 177Lu-octreotate - pharmacokinetics, dosimetry and kidney toxicity
Abstract : 177Lu-octreotate is used for treatment of patients with somatostatin receptor expressing neuroendocrine tumors in some clinics using a standard schedule. Renal and bone marrow toxicity are the main limiting factors. READ MORE

5. Internal Dosimetry Development and Evaluation of Methods and Models
Abstract : Radionuclide therapy requires patient-specific planning of the absorbed dose to target volumes, in most cases tumours, in order to achieve an expected biological effect, taking into account that the absorbed doses to normal organs and tissues should be kept as low as reasonably achievable. Therefore, the calculation of absorbed doses has to be as accurate as possible. READ MORE
