The purpose of this literature review is to describe the possible limits of dosimetry in RAIT planning according to methodological aspects, tumoral heterogeneity and to report clinical data on the impact on patients' outcome of different approaches. Due to the lack of standardized dosimetry protocols and clinical data assessing the superiority of a dosimetry-based vs an empiric approach in these patients, there is a need of standardisation and prospective, properly conducted studies to validate and to assess the best approach.","PeriodicalId":48994,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging","volume":"259 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68829943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
