Abstract:Introduction:
F18 and Ga68 radioisotopes are used in PET imaging for prostate cancer. It was aimed to calculate the prostate, testicle and bladder effective doses (ED) caused by F18 and Ga68 used in prostate cancer imaging with PET/CT via simulation with the GATE toolkit and evaluate the ED in terms of fertility.
Methods:
The prostate, testicle and bladder were defined together with their geometric properties and densities in GATE simulation. F18 and Ga68 with activity of 277.5 MBq and 151.7 MBq were identif… Show more
