The objective of the TG is to develop dose coefficients for radiopharmaceuticals administered to patients in diagnostic nuclear medicine.
The main work of the TG is to update Publication 128 (2015) by values calculated using new ICRP adult and paediatric reference voxel phantoms, Publication 107 nuclear decay data and Publication 103 dosimetry methodology, as well as to develop biokinetic models for new substances and to identify substances contained in Publication 128 where model improvements are needed. As far as reasonable, a harmonisation of dosimetric and biokinetic models with those developed by TG 95 (IDC) for the ICRP OIR and EIR documents is intended.
For the calculation of dose coefficients for patients, the new dosimetric and biokinetic models are implemented into the computer code IDAC-Dose2.1, considered as the reference benchmark. Quality assurance of the calculations is conducted using software codes developed independently at BfS, Helmholtz Zentrum Munich, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, ORNL and in collaboration with EURADOS.
Within the mandate of TG 36, a free and noncommercial mobile app has been developed. The mobile app is a simple tool, which provides effective dose and organ doses values for intakes of radionuclides for occupationally exposed individuals, members of the public and for patients in diagnostic nuclear medicine.
