. This work introduces a novel approach to performing active and passive dosimetry for beta-emitting radionuclides in solution using common dosimeters. The measurements are compared to absorbed dose to water () estimates from Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.

Nevertheless, relatively low tumor radiation doses in patients indicate limited stability in humans. We aimed at evaluating the effect of sacubitril, an inhibitor of the neutral endopeptidase 1, on the stability and absorbed doses to tumors and organs by the cholecystokinin-2 receptor agonist [Lu]Lu-PP-F11N in patients.

CdZnTe (CZT) has been the main RTSD for more than three decades with desired detection properties. In a typical pixelated configuration, CZT have electrodes on opposite ends.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRoom-temperature semiconductor radiation detectors (RTSD) such as CdZnTe are popular in Computed Tomography (CT) imaging and other applications. Transport properties and material defects with respect to electron and hole transport often need to be characterized, which is a labor intensive process. However, these defects often vary from one RTSD to another and are not known during characterization of the material.
