Table 2 Absorbed dose estimations of 152Tb-CHX-DTPA-scFv78-Fc in mice. The table reports dosimetry results obtained with the microPET-based method, as compared with the dose extrapolation from 111In-CHX-DTPA-scFv78-Fc biodistribution data. On the right, the relative percent difference between the two methods is given

  1. Indicates organs that were segmented on microPET/CT imaging, for which the comparison between dose obtained with the two methods appears more meaningful. As regards dosimetry data to the heart, however, it should be noted that imaging-based data were obtained by manual contouring of both the heart wall and the heart content (see example of image segmentation in Fig. 2)
