Radiation emission dose from patients administered 90Y-labelled radiopharmaceuticals: comparison of experimental measurements versus Monte Carlo simulation.

AimTo estimate the radiation dose delivered from patients injected with yttrium-90 (90Y)-labelled tiuxetan (Zevalin) to parents and the general population, comparing different techniques.MethodsThe radiation dose delivered from a group of eight patients injected with 90Y-Zevalin to treat recurrent l
