A persistent belief in radiopharmaceutical therapy

George Sgouros. Med Phys. 2023 Jun.

Abstract

Imaging and dosimetry physics are essential to the long-term success of radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT), a cancer treatment modality that can deliver potent cytotoxic radiation to disseminated cancer cells. This is a review of my personal journey in this field.

Keywords: dosimetry; imaging; radionuclides.
