Dosmetry generally not requred. Ths set the standard for future therapes. MIRD methodology: Source and target organs Source organ Target organ MIRD Formalsm Eo φ( x, E )= E E ( ) Φ( x, E )= φ x,e dm x E dv Absorbed fracton, dmensonless Fracton of emtted energy deposted n target

Personal dosmetry reles on quanttatve magng (Ã) Now movng towards patent-specfc dosmetry Problems & Issues. Defnton of target organs anatomcal vs functonal volumes. 2. Assumpton that actvty s unformly dstrbuted 3. Image quantfcaton methods vary from centre to centre - varous correctons to be made attenuaton & scatter, partal volume 4. Treatment plannng? Optmsaton of dose to the target volume whlst mnmsng dose to normal tssue. Target volume defned as for EBRT, although organs at rsk vary.

Targeted therapy s ncreasng n range and numbers of therapes. It s lkely that ths wll be developed wthn radotherapy (NCRI support). 2. The current state of dosmetry for TRT s probably some decades behnd that of EBT. But there are sgnfcant dfferences as well as smlartes and problems to be solved. 3. Dosmetry has been developed to the extent that t s clncally benefcal. The new challenge s treatment plannng.
