ABSTRACT

Purpose: To determine the feasibility of the use of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals (RN) in ambulatory mode without hospitalization for radionuclide therapy.

Material and methods: We performed computational studies of radiation safety of individuals from the population being in contact with the patient, which received particular therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals labeled with one of 19 β-γ-emitting radionuclides or one of 4 β-emitting radionuclides or one of 6 α-β-γ-emitting radionuclides in ambulatory mode. Criterion validity outpatient regimen is the effective dose of external exposure of these persons. Based on the dose limit for the population installed by NRB-99/2009, the maximum permissible activity of these radionuclides for various geometries and standard time exposure scenario was calculated.

Results and conclusions: It is shown that even for conservative exposure conditions outpatient mode of application is quite valid for all therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals labeled with any of these radionuclides, with the exception only for radiopharmaceuticals labeled with 131I.

Key words: radionuclide therapy, therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, outpatient mode of application, radiation safety
