Abstract

<p>Targeted radioisotope therapy (TRT) is a radiotherapy using radioisotope or drug incorporating it and has been used as a treatment for selectively irradiating cancer cells. In recent years, interest in TRT has increased due to improvements in radionuclide production technology, development of new drugs and imaging modalities, and improvements in radiation technology. In order to enhance the effect of TRT, measurement of individual radiation doses to tumor tissue and organs at risk is important using highly quantitative nuclear medicine images. In this paper, we present a review of literature on optimization of TRT, which is a new research area from the perspective of radiation technology.</p>
