Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) Committee
Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) Committee
Committee Charges
- Develop and provide a standardized framework and methodology for calculation of internal dose quantities in nuclear medicine.
- Compile, evaluate and disseminate data needed to implement standardized internal dosimetry methods including radionuclide decay properties and emissions, energy absorbed fractions and anatomic models.
- Collect and assess experimental and peer-reviewed data to publish dose estimate reports for selected new radiopharmaceuticals which significantly impact the current practice of nuclear medicine.
- Provide peer-reviewed evaluations of proposed new dosimetry models and methods including correlating dose with biological response for cellular, animal and clinical trials data.
- Address other critical and timely dosimetry issues that may impact the current practice of nuclear medicine.
- Develop, test and publish software and internet tools that implement MIRD calculation models and techniques including dose-response data and biological effective or equivalent dose quantities.
- Actively work with other national and international committees through joint meetings and symposia to establish uniformity in dosimetry models, techniques, named special quantities and units of dose and biological response.
