Description

Radiopharmaceutical Therapy and Dosimetry, Monograph No. 40 (High Quality Image PDF))

By Robert F. Hobbs, Joe O’ Donoghue, Jessica Clements
Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) is fast becoming a mainstream modality with the development and approval of new emitters and conjugates. Professionals from the fields of radiation oncology and nuclear medicine are expressing interest in learning the fundamentals of implementing radiopharmaceutical therapy in their clinics. While multiple efforts are underway to add more radiopharmaceutical-specific material to training programs, retrospective training of medical physicists in this discipline is a gigantic unmet need. To meet this need, the AAPM held a comprehensive summer school program in Minneapolis in 2023 on radiopharmaceutical therapy and dosimetry. These summer school proceedings cover all aspects of RPT, from a comprehensive list of currently approved radiopharmaceuticals and their uses to post-treatment patient release criteria. The program placed a special emphasis on the state of the art in voxelized and organ-level dosimetry for RPT. Presenters gave a description of how RPT could adopt patient-specific, dosimetry-based treatment planning in the near future instead of relying upon a one-size-fits-all dosing approach. Many of the world’s leading authorities in RPT have contributed chapters for this book. Their insights will be referred to and valued for years to come.

Radiopharmaceutical Therapy (RPT) is a rapidly growing field, gaining recognition as a mainstream modality in the medical community. With the development and approval of new emitters and conjugates, professionals from the fields of radiation oncology and nuclear medicine are showing great interest in incorporating radiopharmaceutical therapy in their clinics. However, there is a significant lack of training for medical physicists in this discipline. To bridge this gap, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) organized a comprehensive summer school program in Minneapolis in 2023, focusing on radiopharmaceutical therapy and dosimetry. The proceedings of this summer school have been compiled in a valuable resource, covering all aspects of RPT, from approved radiopharmaceuticals and their uses to patient release criteria and the latest advancements in dosimetry.

The AAPM’s summer school program brought together some of the world’s leading authorities in RPT, who have shared their invaluable insights in this book. These experts have contributed chapters that will serve as a reference for years to come. With their collective expertise, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of RPT and its potential for future advancements.

The book starts by introducing the fundamental concepts of radiopharmaceutical therapy and its applications. It provides a comprehensive list of currently approved radiopharmaceuticals and their uses in various medical conditions. The chapters delve into the principles of dose planning, exploring both voxelized and organ-level dosimetry. The authors emphasize the need for patient-specific, dosimetry-based treatment planning, moving away from the traditional one-size-fits-all dosing approach. This approach promises more precise and personalized treatment, maximizing the therapeutic benefit and minimizing potential side effects.

Throughout the book, the chapters are filled with valuable insights and practical tips from experienced practitioners. They share their clinical experiences and discuss best practices, providing readers with a wealth of knowledge that can be applied in their own practice. The authors also highlight the latest advancements in radiopharmaceutical therapy, discussing emerging emitters and conjugates and their potential role in future treatments.

The publication is published by Medical Physics Publishing Corporation, a recognized authority in the field of medical physics. With a publication date in June 2023, this book is up-to-date with the latest research and developments in the field of radiopharmaceutical therapy.

For professionals in the fields of radiation oncology and nuclear medicine, as well as medical physicists seeking to expand their knowledge in radiopharmaceutical therapy, this book is an essential resource. It provides a comprehensive overview, covering both the basics and advanced concepts, and serves as a reference for implementing RPT in clinical practice.
