Browsing IV. Eurasian conference on nuclear science and its application : presentations, 31 October- 3 November 2006. Baku, Azerbaijan. by Subject "111In"

Microdosimetric calculations of Auger and conversion electrons of 111In have been evaluated for single cell and cell clusters. A VsBasic program has been used to calculate stopping power, LET, range values and deposited energies per decay for Auger and conversion electrons of 111In. Chemical composition of cell has been taken into account in this model and results were compared with water medium. Besides, total absorbed doses have been calculated for the radionuclides distributed randomly within the cell and clusters. Cross-fire irradiation has been considered for clusters of cells. In this case, absorbed doses per cell within a cluster were found significantly higher than absorbed doses per single cell depending on the cluster size. Results were concluded that 111In is a promising radionuclide for therapy of micrometatases which their width is mm or smaller.
