چکیده

The purpose of this study is to assess a rare case of fetal radiation absorbed dose here through ۱۸F‑Fludeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in early pregnancy (۵‑week‑old fetus). The fetal absorbed dose due to the radiation emitted from the mother’s body, the fetus self‑dose, and the dose received from CT were computed. The ۳۵‑year‑old patient, weighing ۸۵ kg, was injected with ۳۷۰ MBq of ۱۸F‑FDG. Imaging started at ۱ h with CT acquisition followed by PET imaging. The photon and positron self‑dose was calculated by applying the Monte Carlo (MC) GATE (GEANT ۴ Application for Tomographic Emission) code. The volume of absorbed dose from the mother’s body organs and the absorbed dose from the CT were added to the self‑dose to obtain the final dose. The volume of self‑dose obtained through MC simulation for the fetus was ۳.۳ × ۱۰‑۲ mGy/MBq, of which ۲.۹۷ × ۱۰‑۲ mGy/MBq was associated with positrons and ۰.۳۳ × ۱۰‑۲ mGy/MBq was associated with photons. Biologically, the absorbed dose from CT, ۷.۳ mGy, had to be added to the total dose. The absorbed dose by the fetus during early pregnancy was higher than the standard value of ۲.۲ × ۱۰‑۲ mGy/MBq (MIRD DER) because, during the examinations, the mother’s bladder was full. This issue was a concern during updating standards.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
