摘要
The total absorbed dose after systemic administration of Sr-89 has been determined by measuring directly its activity in bone metastases. Autoradiography was performed on sections of bones obtained from patients treated with Sr-89 to study the pattern of deposition. Discs of 5 and 8 mm diameter were cut from metastatic sites and normal bone. The beta-ray activity was determined with a scintillation counter, which was calibrated using similar bovine cancellous bone discs, onto which a known activity of Sr-89 was transferred by pipette. From the activity measured, the initial activity (at the time of Sr-89 administration) was calculated. The absorbed dose was estimated using the methodology described in NCRP Report No. 58. The estimated initial activity of Sr-89 in the bone metastases varied from 2.3 to 240 MBq kg(-1), with a mean value of 31 +/- 27 MBq kg(-1). The total absorbed dose ranged from 1.3 to 64 Gy, with a mean of 18 +/- 16 Gy. The average total dose to normal bone sites was 1.1 +/- 0.4 Gy. The metastases to normal bone dose ratio in individual samples varied from 8 +/- 4 to 40 +/- 25. These estimates are in agreement with those obtained previously by indirect methods.
