Practice problems and use of FDA approved software are emphasized.
The course covers the following subjects:
- Radiation dosimetry fundamentals
- Dose calculation methods
- Study design to obtain dosimetry data
- Extrapolation of animal data gathered for radiopharmaceuticals to humans
- Use of medical imaging equipment to obtain data from human subjects for generalized or patient-individualized dosimetry
- Kinetic data analysis and related uncertainties
- Components of current internal dose models and phantoms
- Understanding of all dose-related quantities
