Efforts in the Formation and Development of Nuclear Medicine in Vietnam
AbstractThe foundations of nuclear medicine in Vietnam were established from 1970. Until now, after 48 years of development, in Vietnam, we have some basic equipment including 31 SPECT, 4 SPECT/CT machines, 11 PET/CT scanners, five cyclotrons, and one nuclear reactor. Many nuclear medicine techniques in diagnosis and treatment have been routinely performed at provincial and central level health fac ilities such as tumor scintigraphy, thyroid scintigraphy, bone scintigraphy, kidney scintigraphy, cardiac scintigraphy, and radio-isotope therapy with I-131 and P-32. Selective internal radiation therapy with Y-90 microsphere ...

Eight decades of ICRP recommendations in medicine: a perspective
Medicine has been intimately associated with ionising radiation since the discovery of x rays in 1895; the first adverse effects of radiation were observed in persons working in research and on medical staff using x rays. Consequently, in 1925, the first International Congress of Radiology considered the need for a protection committee, which was established at its second congress in Stockholm in 1928 and is known today as the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). The first ICRP recommendations in 1928 were devoted to the protection of medical staff in the use of x rays for diagnosis and radiotherapy,...

American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 263: Standardizing Nomenclatures in Radiation Oncology.
ller RC, Hurkmans C, Adams J, Jackie Wu QR, Fox CJ, Siochi RA, Brown NL, Verbakel W, Archambault Y, Chmura SJ, Dekker AL, Eagle DG, Fitzgerald TJ, Hong T, Kapoor R, Lansing B, Jolly S, Napolitano ME, Percy J, Rose MS, Siddiqui S, Schadt C, Simon WE, Straube WL, St James ST, Ulin K, Yom SS, Yock TI
Abstract
A substantial barrier to the single- and multi-institutional aggregation of data to supporting clinical trials, practice quality improvement efforts, and development of big data analytics resource systems is the lack of standardized nomenclatures for expressing dosimetric data. To address this issue, the America...

The increasing potential of nuclear medicine imaging for the evaluation and reduction of normal tissue toxicity from radiation treatments
AbstractRadiation therapy is an effective treatment modality for a variety of cancers. Despite several advances in delivery techniques, its main drawback remains the deposition of dose in normal tissues which can result in toxicity. Common practices of evaluating toxicity, using questionnaires and grading systems, provide little underlying information beyond subjective scores, and this can limit further optimization of treatment strategies. Nuclear medicine imaging techniques can be utilised to directly measure regional baseline function and function loss from internal/external radiation therapy within normal tissues in an...

Australasian recommendations for quality assurance in kilovoltage radiation therapy from the Kilovoltage Dosimetry Working Group of the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine
AbstractThe Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM) Radiation Oncology Specialty Group (ROSG) formed a series of working groups to develop recommendations for guidance of radiation oncology medical physics practice within the Australasian setting. These recommendations provide a standard for safe work practices and quality control. It is the responsibility of the medical physicist to ensure that locally available equipment and procedures are sufficiently sensitive to establish compliance. The recommendations are endorsed by the ROSG, have been subject to independent expert reviews and...

The American Academy of Oral Medicine clinical practice statement: dental care for the patient on antiresorptive drug therapy
The American Academy of Oral Medicine (AAOM) affirms that medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is defined as a condition of exposed bone or bone that can be probed through an intraoral or extraoral fistula in the maxillofacial region and that has persisted for more than 8 weeks in patients who are with current or have had previous exposure to antiresorptive or antiangiogenic agents and have no history of radiation therapy of the jaws. The AAOM also affirms that over the years, important information has emerged and can help providers make treatment decisions and minimize the risk for MRONJ.

Image-Guided High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound, A Novel Application for Interventional Nuclear Medicine?
Image-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been increasingly used in medicine over the past few decades, and several systems for such have become commercially available. HIFU has passed regulatory approval around the world for the ablation of various solid tumors, the treatment of neurologic diseases, and the palliative management of bone metastases. The mechanical and thermal effects of focused ultrasound provide a possibility for histotripsy, supportive radiation therapy, and targeted drug delivery. The integration of imaging modalities into HIFU systems allows for precise temperature monitoring and accura...
