  1. Why Quantitative I-131http://www.med.harvard.edu/physics/WhyQuantitativeI-131_2.ppt Robert E. Zimmerman Joint Program in Nuclear Medicine Harvard Medical School Brigham & Women’s Hospital Dana Farber Cancer Institute The Children Hospital Boston MA

  2. Reason

  3. I-131 • “Magic Bullet” • Very specific for thyroid or thyroid mets • Usually cleared rapidly with 2-3 day Teff • 8 day T1/2 leaves time for  to deposit its energy • 364 kev -ray allows imaging

  4. Thyroid ablation • Very effective • Doses to 6000-20000 rads to the thyroid • Minimal dose to other organs

  5. But there are complications in some cases • Mets in lung and resultant dose to lung tissue • Dose to blood marrow • Dose to salivary glands • Other? • Complex distribution

  6. Goals • Limit dose to marrow to < 200 rads • Limit dose to lungs to < 2000 rads • Estimate dose to bladder, salivary glands, other organs with significant uptake

  7. Selected History • Benua 1962 based on MSK experience gives these guidelines to limit bone marrow dose : • < 200 rads to blood • < 120 mCi retained at 48 hr (80 mCi with diffuse lung mets)

  8. I-131 can be imaged quantitatively but.. • scatter • penetration • sensitivity • attenuation • time …all complicate the task of getting meaningful numbers

  9. Generally accepted procedure • Dual-head planar gamma camera imaging w/standard source • ROI for selected organs • Obtain geometric mean of Ant and Post counts • Measure attenuation using gamma camera and area source (e.g. Co-57 sheet source) • Obtain blood samples to estimate marrow dose • Follow long enough (e.g 4 days) • Use MIRD dose calculation techniques

  10. Resource intensive • Imaging: • ~3 hr first day • Attenuation scan • 2 hr pre void scan + blood • 4 hr post void scan + blood • 1 hr day 2, 3 and 4 + bloods • Blood samples to count • ROI to draw and calculate • Dosimetry calculation • Dose plan

  11. Attenuation scan w/ Co-57 sheet source Blank scan previously acquired

  12. 2 hr & 24 hr

  13. 48 hr & 72 hr

  14. Aids • MIRD – tables, models, data • MIRDOSE 1, 2, 3 by Stabin • RADAR by Stabin (http://www.doseinfo-radar.com/RADARHome.html) • Olinda by Stabin • NucliDose Erwin & Groch (includes MIRDOSE2) • Gamma camera ROI tools • Spreadsheets

  15. MIRD Medical Internal Radiation Dose Subcommittee of the Society of Nuclear Medicine

  16. MIRD Publication - MIRD Dose Estimate Report #19: Radiation Absorbed Dose Estimates from 18F-FDG • MIRD Publication - MIRD Supplement 1999: Foreword, MIRD Perspective, Pamphlets 14 Revised, 15, 16, and 17 • MIRD Publication - MIRD Dose Estimate Report #13: Radiation Absorbed Dose from Technetium-99m-labeled bone imaging agents • MIRD Publication - MIRD Pamphlet #11: S, Absorbed Dose per Unit Cumulated Activity for Selected Radionuclides and Organs (PART 1) • MIRD Publication - MIRD Pamphlet #11: S, Absorbed Dose per Unit Cumulated Activity for Selected Radionuclides and Organs (PART 2) • MIRD Publication - MIRD Pamphlet #11: S, Absorbed Dose per Unit Cumulated Activity for Selected Radionuclides and Organs (PART 3) • MIRD Publication - MIRD Pamphlet #13: Specific Absorbed Fractions for Photon Sources Uniformly Distributed in the Heart Chambers and Heart Wall of Heterogeneous Phantom • MIRD Publication - MIRD Pamphlet #5 Revised: Estimates of Absorbed Fractions for Monoenergetic Photon Sources Uniformly Distributed in Various Organs of a Heterogeneous Phantom

  17. MIRDOSE • A series (v1, v2, v3) of software programs that ran on PCs circa 1985-1998 by Michael Stabin then of Oak Ridge Associated Universities and Oak Ridge National Laboratories • Eventually FDA stopped distribution of the software since it was a medical device!

  18. RADARWeb site RAdiation Dose Assessment Resource By Michael Stabin and colleagues Difficult to use for individual dosimetry.

  19. OLINDA/EXM Organ Level INternal Dose Assessment/EXponential Modeling By Michael Stabin of Vanderbilt. Has FDA 510(k) exemption

  20. Brigham & Women's Hospital Division of Nuclear Medicine Whole Body Dosimetry Study with 131I Indications: Quantitative estimate of 131I in metastases or thyroid remnants requiring complete dosimetry to protect critical organs. Patient Preparation: This exam should not be performed if the patient has had any iodine medications which will interfere with the study or any iodinated contrast media within the last 6 weeks. TSH level should be evaluated prior to radiopharmaceutical administration. Levels should be greater than 50 uU/ml. The patient should be fasting for 1 hour prior to ingestion of the radiopharmaceutical and should not eat for at least 30 min. following. Radiopharmaceutical: 131I solution Dose: 3 mCi Written directive form must be signed by Attending Physician prior to administration. Route of Administration: oral

  21. Imaging: 1.WB Blank scan with 57Co sheet source: Use acquisition protocol BWH WB Co-57 Blank Scan. Prior to radiopharmaceutical administration a 57Co WB blank scan must be performed. Mark the table for patient re-positioning for all imaging sessions by placing a piece of tape on the table corresponding to the location of the top of the patient’s head. Place 57Co sheet source on detector 2 of e.cam or MS2 with high energy collimators in place. Use both detectors and peak for 57Co. Do blank scan with no patient on table starting where top of head will be located to end of feet. 2.WB transmission scan is be performed next. Use acquisition protocol BWH Co-57 Transmission Scan. Leave the 57 Co sheet source on detector 2. Place the patient on table at location of tape. Do anterior WB sweep from head to toe for 20 min. (8 cm/min). 3.Administer the radiopharmaceutical. The patient must not void between administration and first imaging session. 4.Prepare standard of 50-100 Ci of I-131 in 250 ml tissue culture flask. Label flask with name, time, date and activity. 5.Use acquisition protocol BWH I131 WB scan. Perform WB sweep anterior/posterior 60-120 minutes post administration of I-131. Scan for 20 min. (8 cm/min) and include standard in field of view (e.g. between feet or lower legs). 6.Repeat WB sweeps at 24, 48 and 72 hours post administration of 131I. Increase imaging time at later time points to 40 min (16 cm/min) and include standard in all imaging sessions. 7.Spot views of head and neck may be required by Nuclear Med physician. 8.Draw 2 cc of blood at each imaging session, excluding transmission session. Record name of patient, time and date of blood drawing on each tube and on patient jacket. All samples will be counted on the last day of imaging. 9.Processing using Nuclidose on ICON/IDL system will be done by the physicist. ROIs corresponding to each source organ will be drawn. Time activity curves will be obtained. Dose calculations will be performed to obtain rads/mCi. Adapted from CH protocol REZ 5 Dec 2000
