As part of the EANM 2011 congress in Birmingham, PEDDOSE.NET held a Pre-Congress Symposium on
"Do We Apply Too Much Radiation in Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine?"
SESSION I:
- Introduction (M. Lassmann, University Würzburg)
- Development in Nuclear Medicine Imaging - Impact on Patient Dose (C. Vandevoorde, Univ. Gent)
- Dosimetric & Pharmacokinetic Models (P. Santos, INSERM Nantes)
- Recommendations for Future Work & Research (M. Bardiès, Toulouse)
SESSION II:
- Round-Table Discussion (M. Lassmann, Univ. Würzburg)
PEDDOSE.NET project partners are currently working on an App to install on the iPhone, derived from the EANM Pediatric Dosage Card.
This card summarizes the views of the Paediatric and Dosimetry Committees of the EANM and reflects recommendations of the EANM. The dosage recommendations should be taken in context of "good practice" of nuclear medicine and do not substitute for national and international legal or regulatory provisions. The EANM cannot be held responsible for its dosage recommendations.
This card is based upon the publication by Jacobs F, Thierens H, Piepst A, Bacher K, Van de Wiele C, Ham H, Dierckx RA. Optimized tracer-dependent dosage cards to obtain weight-independent effective doses. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2005 May; 32(5):581-8.

We are happy to announce that the European Commission agreed to extend the project PEDDOSE.NET. The new duration of the project is 22 months! Hence, the end of the project will be January 31, 2012.
New Article: "Biokinetics and dosimetry of commonly used radiopharmaceuticals in diagnostic nuclear medicine - a review" by PEDDOSE.NET-project partners
The current knowledge on biokinetics and dosimetry of commonly used diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals was reviewed and summarized by the authors of the article. The results show, that "data on dosimetry and biokinetics can be difficult to find, are scattered in various journals and, especially in paediatric nuclear medicine, are very scarce."
As a conclusion, the authors say, that "it would be of interest to generate new data on biokinetics and dosimetry in diagnostic nuclear medicine using state-of-the-art equipment and more uniform dosimetry protocols."
