Radiopharmaceutical Internal Dosimetry
Course Title:
Radiopharmaceutical Internal Dosimetry
Course duration:
40 hours of instruction
Price:
$1995
Course Summary
Through lectures, hands-on laboratory exercises, and extensive reference materials, this
course will give you the technical information and practical experience necessary to
understand US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) requirements for radiation
dosimetry aspects of new drug approval, and to calculate internal dose estimates for
radiopharmaceuticals from a theoretical basis or based on collected data in human or
animal studies. Practice problems and use of FDA approved software will be emphasized.
Instructors: Michael G. Stabin, PhD, CHP and Richard B. Sparks, PhD.

Description
We provide the technical information and practical experience to ensure that you are well prepared to calculate dose estimates for radiopharmaceuticals. Instructors have decades of experience in performing such calculations, for government and industry, and in training first time or experienced users.

Practice problems and use of FDA approved software will be emphasized.
During the week, students will complete instruction in the following required 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, and understanding of all dose-related quantities.
Audience
Those seeking expertise in calculating radiation doses for radiopharmaceuticals.
