Low Dose Naldextrone

by Sergei V. Jargin (Author)
This book shows that the medical consequences of low-dose, low-rate exposures to ionizing radiation have been overestimated by certain scientists, which apparently occurred in accordance with unofficial policies and directives

This two-part volume gathers extended conference abstracts corresponding to selected talks from the "Biostatnet workshop on Biomedical (Big) Data" and from the "DoReMi LD-RadStats

To safeguard public health, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must keep abreast of new scientific information and emerging technologies so that it can apply them to regulatory decision-making. For decades the agency has dealt with questions about what animal-testing data to use to make predictions about human health hazards, how to perform dose-response extrapolations, how to identify and protect susceptible subpopulations, and how to address uncertainties.

This book systemically introduces physical properties and clinical applications of total-body PET/CT. Firstly, based on the results of a comparative study between total-body PET/CT and conventional digital PET/CT, the feasibility and diagnostic efficacy of rapid scanning are overviewed. Following chapters present the unique value of total-body PET/CT dynamic acquisition in pharmacokinetic research and its potential advantages, feasibility and optimized imaging of half-dose and one-tenth-dose total-body PET/CT scans. In addition, new technologies that are still being explored and perfected, such as gating technology and ultra-low dose CT are also included. It will be a useful reference for nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists who are interested in total body PET/CT.
