On the reduction of imaging time-points for dosimetry in radionuclide therapy by Johan Gustafsson, Jan Taprogge

“…Abstract Background The aim was to develop a theoretical framework for how errors in estimated activities propagate to a dispersion in time-integrated activity in radionuclide-therapy dosimetry and how this affects the comparison of radionuclide-therapy dosimetry schemes. Methods Formulae for the variance of relative errors of estimated time-integrated activities and relative differences in time-integrated activities between measurement schemes when one or more time-points are removed were derived using the law of propagation of uncertainty for a population of time-activity-curve parameters. …”
