Abstract Twenty-eight patients with relapsed or refractory CD20+ NHL have been enrolled in an ongoing phase I trial of dose-escalated 90YZ followed by high-dose BEAM and autotransplant in which the 90YZ dose is patient-specific based on dosimetry. 90YZ doses are calculated to deliver cohort-defined radiation doses (100, 300, 500, ... cGy) to critical organs (liver, lung or kidney), with 3–6 patients per group. On D -22, rituximab (R) 250 mg/m2 is infused followed by the imaging dose of 111In Zevalin® (5 mCi). Imaging is performed immediately post-injection and at 4, 24, 72, and 144 hours; dosimetry is performed on D -15. On D -14, R 250 mg/m2 is administered followed immediately by 90YZ at the dose calculated to deliver the cohort-prescribed absorbed radiation dose to the critical organ. On D -6 through -1, patients receive high-dose BEAM. On D0, a minimum of 2.0 X 106 CD34+ cells/kg is infused and G-CSF 5 μg/kg SQ daily begun. The median age was 54 (range: 25–72) years. NHL histologic subtypes were as follows: mantle cell 5, diffuse aggressive 13, low grade 5, and transformed 5. Most had received 3 or more treatment regimens, including R. The toxicity profile was similar to that associated with high-dose BEAM and included a decrease in DLCO for most patients with one patient at the 500 cGy dose level experiencing a transient decline to below 50% of the predicted value corrected for hemoglobin. The most common grade III/IV toxicities were infection, fever, stomatitis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hemorrhage, and edema. One patient experienced transient veno-occlusive disease at the 700 cGy dose level. Engraftment occurred at a median of 10 days (range:8–18) to granulocytes ≥ 500/μL, and 21 days (range:13–40days) to platelets ≥20,000/μL . With a median follow-up of one year, the 3 year overall and progression-free survivals are 60% and 50%, respectively. Figure Figure 90-Y Zevalin Dosing by Cohort (median; range) Cohort (cGy) Total Dose (mCi) mCi/kg 100 (n=3) 5 (2–14) .06(.05–.12) 300 (n=7) 22(14–57) .25(.18–.63) 500 (n=6) 31(16–48) .40(.14–.63) 700 (n=6) 37(26–55) .38(.27–.73) 900 (n=3) 28(27–37) .32(.27–.44) 1100 (n=3) 48(29–65) .57(.50–.75) The liver was the critical organ in nearly all cases. Patient-specific doses calculated to deliver a cohort-prescribed absorbed radiation dose to the critical organ were highly variable suggesting that dosing based on weight and not dosimetry is likely to result in a wide range of absorbed dose to critical organs. In the context of this study, 90YZ has been administered to eight patients at doses of .5 mCi/kg or greater. We conclude that with careful dosimetry, 90YZ doses higher than the conventional .4 mCi/kg may be safely combined with BEAM and autotransplant. Accrual continues at the 1300 cGy dose level.

177Lu-DOTAGA-(l-y)fk(Sub-KuE) a.k.a. 177Lu-PSMA I&T is currently used for radioligand therapy (RLT) of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in several centers in Europe. Background: Dosimetry is mandatory according to EU guidelines, although routine methods for dosimetry, i.e., absorbed radiation dose calculations for radiopharmaceuticals, are missing. Methods: We created a model of dosimetric analysis utilizing voxel-based dosimetry and intra-lesion radiomics to assess their practicality in routine dosimetry. Results: As an example for the model, our patient with mCRPC had excellent therapy response; quantitatively more than 97% of the metastatic tumor burden in local and distant lymph nodes and skeleton was destroyed by four cycles of RLT. The absorbed radiation doses in metastases decreased towards later cycles of RLT. Besides the change of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) concentration and absorbed doses in the tumor, further response to RLT could be predicted from biomarker changes, such as LDH and PSA. Conclusions: Individual dosimetry is needed to understand large variations in tumor doses and mixed responses; for that purpose, routine tools should be developed. The Dosimetry Research Tool (DRT) fluently performed automated organ delineation and absorbed radiation dose calculations in normal organs, and the results in our patient were in good concordance with the published studies on 177Lu-PSMA dosimetry. At the same time, we experienced considerable challenges in voxel-based dosimetry of tumor lesions. Measurements of 177Lu-PSMA activity concentrations instead of absorbed radiation dose calculations could make routine dosimetry more flexible. The first cycle of RLT seems to have quantitatively the biggest impact on the therapy effect. Radiomics analyses could probably aid in the treatment optimization, but it should be tested in large patient populations.

Two setups for X-ray visualization of objects interior structure were designed and assembled in TPU. These radiographic systems are based on linear gas-discharge and GaAs semiconductor detectors. During investigation of biological object control of radiation doses has a high priority. In this report radiation dose calculations in X-ray visualization are presented. These calculation also includes dose calculations of sinograms which are used for reconstruction of tomography slices.

Atmospheric dispersion modeling and radiation dose calculations have been performed for a hypothetical AP1000 SGTR accident by HotSpot code 3.03. TEDE, the respiratory time-integrated air concentration, and the ground deposition are calculated for various atmospheric stability classes, Pasquill stability categories A–F with site-specific averaged meteorological conditions. The results indicate that the maximum plume centerline ground deposition value of1.2E+2 kBq/m2occurred at about 1.4 km and the maximum TEDE value of1.41E-05 Sv occurred at 1.4 km from the reactor. It is still far below the annual regulatory limits of 1 mSv for the public as set in IAEA Safety Report Series number 115. The released radionuclides might be transported to long distances but will not have any harmful effect on the public.

There is a gap in the literature regarding fetal radiation exposure from interventional cardiac procedures. With an increasingly large and complex cohort of pregnant cardiac patients, it is necessary to evaluate the safety of invasive cardiac procedures and interventions in this population. Here we present a case of a patient with multiple medical comorbidities and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) at 15 weeks’ gestation, managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We were able to minimize the maternal and estimated fetal absorbed radiation dose to <1 milliGray (mGy), significantly less than the threshold dose for fetal adverse effects at this gestational age.
