Radiation exposure assessment of nuclear medicine staff administering [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE with active and passive dosimetry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of lutetium-177 (¹⁷⁷Lu)-based radiopharmaceuticals in peptide receptor nuclear therapy is increasing, but so is the number of nuclear medicine workers exposed to higher levels of radiation. In recent years, [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE has begun to be widely used for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours. However, there are few studies evaluating the occupational radiation exposure during its administration, and there are still some challenges that can result in higher doses to the staff, such as a lack of trained personnel or fully standardised procedures. In response, this study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of occupational doses to the staff involved in the administration of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE.
