  2. 1. Therapy with 177Lu-octreotate - pharmacokinetics, dosimetry and kidney toxicity

    Author : Maria Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PRRT; 177Lu-octreotate; 111In-octreotide; dosimetry; biokinetics; scintigraphy; conjugate view method; renal function; renal toxicity; lysine; DMSA; 99mTc-DTPA; 99mTc-DMSA;

    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

    Abstract : Purpose: To confront the statement that gadolinium contrast media (Gd-CM) are less nephrotoxic than iodine contrast media (I-CM) when used in x-ray angiographic and computed tomographic (CT) examinations. Methods: I) For CT measurements (mean density in Hounsfield numbers) 20-mL syringes filled with I- and Gd-CM at 0.01, 0.02, 0. READ MORE
