Whereas calculations with earlier use of Monte Carlo dosimetry might take hours, the Meals and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(ok) clearance for a dose planning methodology that facilitates automated use of this dosimetry method in seconds for radiotherapy functions.
Clinicians will now be capable of entry automated Monte Carlo dosimetry with the dose planning methodology via the MIM SurePlan MRT platform (MIM Software program/GE HealthCare). Whereas GE HealthCare mentioned the Monte Carlo methodology has been acknowledged as a gold normal in dosimetry for radiophamaceutical remedy, clinicians can now overview absorbed doses with this method in a couple of clicks.

“It’s thrilling that the dose planning methodology code developed and validated at our establishment might be accessible to the theranostics neighborhood at giant with the current FDA clearance,” mentioned Yuni Dewaraja, PhD, a professor of radiology on the College of Michigan. “This opens up the likelihood for harmonized and correct patient-specific dosimetry throughout facilities, which might result in sturdy dose-effect relationships, dosimetry-guided radiopharmaceutical remedy, and finally a higher profit for sufferers receiving these promising therapies.”
GE HealthCare added that the MIM SurePlan MRT automates dosimetry processes resembling organ-at-risk segmentation, time-activity curve becoming and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) reconstruction.
