“…The ICRP 53 data are based on the MIRD 5 phantoms [45], and the ICRP Publications 80, 106, and 128 data are based on the Cristy-Eckerman phantoms [13]. Some free programs, such as Dosisrad [2] and RadioPharmaDose [3], were developed using the ICRP publications data. For example, the Dosisrad version 1.2 are based on the ICRP Publication 128.…”

“…OLINDA/EXM [1] is one of the most famous software for internal dosimetry, which is available commercially. In recent years some free software has been developed, such as Dosisrad [2] and RadioPharmaDose [3]. These computer programs facilitate the dose calculation from internally deposited radioactive materials and reduce human errors in the calculations.…”

The calculation of absorbed and effective doses due to the administration of radiopharmaceuticals needs physical data such as radionuclide's half-life and nuclear decay data. Also, it needs the data on the biodistribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the body. This process is time-consuming, and there is a possibility of human error in the calculations. Therefore, computer programs were developed to facilitate and speed up the dose calculation. The purpose of this paper is to report the steps taken for the development of the second version of InRaDoS. InRaDoS 2 is a free computer program for internal dosimetry. This program was developed using the tkinter module of Python programming language. The dose calculations were based on the MIRD method and only for adults. The user can calculate the doses for revised ORNL or ICRP adult reference phantoms. For now, 98 and 29 radiopharmaceuticals (138 and 42 biokinetic models) are available for the revised ORNL and ICRP adult reference phantoms, respectively. The results of the InRaDoS 2 show good agreement with the published data and free available software. InRaDoS 2 is freely available for download on GitHub (https://github.com/farzinsafarnejad/InRaDoS-2).

“…However, these software cannot be widely used in nuclear medicine services around the world because they require users to purchase official license. Recently, a freeware called Dosisrad [5] has been well-developed in Visual Basic language which allows dosimetric calculations of more than 70 radiopharmaceutical drugs and provides a tool to generate a dosimetry report that contains dosimetric data of a given patient administered by a given radiopharmaceutical product which can be included in a patient's medical record. However, this software has some limitations.…”

In this work, a user-friendly Java-based open-source software has been developed for internal radiation dosimetry. Based on values published by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), the software calculates the estimated absorbed dose for each organ and also the estimated effective dose, this for about forty of the most known radioactive drugs. In addition, the present software offers many features which include: 1) a very friendly graphical user-interface (GUI) designed to facilitate the process of selecting mandatory input data such as radiopharmaceutical product, administered activity and patient's data, 2) a tool for generating a medical report, which can be exported as PDF file or printed directly and then incorporated into the patient's record, 3) a SQLite database for storing patient's specific and dosimetric data. We believe that the present software can be a useful tool for nuclear medicine workers. It is freely available for download on GitHub (https://github.com/EL-Bakkali-Jaafar/RadioPharmaDose).

Enhancement of Structured Reporting – an Integration Reporting Module with Radiation Dose Collection Supporting

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Collection of radiation dose derived from radiological examination is necessary not only for radiation protection, but also for fulfillment of structured reports. However, the material regarding of radiation dose cannot be directly utilized by the Radiological Information System (RIS) since it is generated and only stored in the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). In this paper, an integration reporting module is proposed to facilitate handling of dose information and structured reporting by providing two functionalities. First, a gateway is established to automatically collect the related information from PACS for further analyzing and monitoring the accumulated radiation. Second, the designated structured reporting patterns with corresponding radiation dose measurements can be acquired by radiologists as necessary. In the design, the radiation dose collection gateway and the well-established pattern are collocated to achieve that there is no need to do manual entry for structured reporting, thus increasing productivity and medical quality.
