Bedeutung der Dosimetrie bei der Therapie aus Sicht der Medizinischen Physik

Zusammenfassung

Der Beitrag der Medizinischen Physik zur Dosimetrie bei der Radionuklidtherapie umfasst die Qualitätssicherung der eingesetzten Geräte, die Erstellung von Protokollen zur prä- und peritherapeutischen Dosimetrie, die Planung der Therapien bzw. deren Verifikation sowie eigenständige Forschung zur Methodenentwicklung in der Dosimetrie. Eine nach dem Stand von Wissenschaft und Technik durchgeführte Dosimetrie ist gerade bei Therapien, die nicht als Standardtherapie anzusehen sind, von hoher Bedeutung. Zum einen ermöglicht die Dosimetrie zur Therapieplanung und –verifikation die Optimierung des Strahlenschutzes für die Patienten. Andererseits ist die Dosimetrie von großer Bedeutung für die Planung und praktische Umsetzung neuer Therapieverfahren sowie für die Gewinnung und Berücksichtigung strahlenbiologischer Erkenntnisse. In jedem Fall leistet die Medizinische Physik einen unverzichtbaren Beitrag zur Optimierung der Behandlung nuklearmedizinischer Patienten mit radioaktiven Substanzen.

Abstract

The contribution of medical physics to dosimetry in radionuclide therapy includes the quality assurance of the devices used, the preparation of protocols for pre- and peritherapeutic dosimetry, the planning of therapies and their verification, as well as independent research on method development in dosimetry. Dosimetry carried out according to the state of the art in science and technology is of great importance, especially for non-standard therapies. Dosimetry for treatment planning and verification enables the optimization of radiation protection for patients. Furthermore, dosimetry is highly important for planning and practical implementation of new therapy procedures as well as for acquiring and considering radiobiological findings. In any case, medical physics is indispensable to optimizing the treatment of nuclear medicine patients with radiopharmaceuticals.
