New PhD Student for Dositest We are glad to welcome Gunjan Kayal for a PhD project centred on Dositest. Gunjan has been recruited thanks to a collaborative project between CRCT and SCK-CEN. She will be registered in Toulouse University and co-supervised by Manuel Bardiès and Lara Struelens. Details on the research programme can be found here. Welcome Gunjan 🙂
IAEA CRP E23005 We’re glad to contribute to IAEA CRP E23005. Our contribution will be to generate simulated projections of a 177Lu-DOTATATE patient. SPECT/CT projections will be generated based on a realistic pharmacokinetics, at different time-points. This will be the work of a PhD student (ongoing recruitment).

Gustavo Costa to present DosiTest work Gustavo Costa will present his work during the first SFPM Young Scientists Workshop, in Luz Saint Sauveur (21-24 September 2016). Simulation of acquisition with a Siemens Symbia T2 applying the 177Lu-DOTATE biokinetics in the XCAT phantom Update: The presentation is available to download.
MRT Dosimetry project Metrology for clinical implementation of dosimetry in molecular radiotherapy (MRTDosimetry) is a joint research project (JRP) within the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR). The project builds on the results and outputs from the preceding EMRP JRP HLT11 MetroMRT project, which took the first steps towards providing data, methods, protocols and guidance for MRT …
TestDose reference TestDose: A nuclear medicine software based on Monte Carlo modeling for generating gamma camera acquisitions and dosimetry. Garcia MP, Villoing D, McKay E, Ferrer L, Cremonesi M, Botta F, Ferrari M, Bardiès M Med Phys. 2015 Dec;42(12):6885-94. doi: 10.1118/1.4934828
DosiTest student got her PhD Daphnée Villoing got her PhD today. Most of her PhD work is related to DosiTest: She generated the pharmacokinetics model used as an input to TestDose, She generated clinical images for Octreoscan and Lutathera. She validated Gate for clinical dosimetry, Daphnée is now looking for a Post Doc. Bonne chance 🙂
