Abstract | Background: Extravasation of radiopharmaceuticals used for vectorized internal radiotherapy can lead to severe tissue damage (van der Pol et al., Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 44:1234-1243, 2017). Clinical management of these extravasations requires the preliminary estimation of the dose distribution in the extravasation area. Data are scarce regarding the dose estimation in the literature. This work presents a methodology for estimating the dose distribution after an extravasation occurred in September 2017, in the arm of a patient during a 7.4-GBq infusion of Lutathera ® (AAA). Methods: A local quantification procedure initially developed for renal dosimetry was used. A calibration factor was determined and verified by phantom study. Extravasation volume of interest and its variation in time were determined using 4 whole body (WB) planar acquisitions performed at 2 h (T Results: Volumes estimated using 3D threshold were V Conclusions: Rapid local dose estimation was permitted thanks to knowledge of the calibration factor determined previous to accidental extravasation. Lutathera® lymphatic drainage was quick in the arm (T |
