Carcinoid Therapy 177Lu-DOTATATE Radiation Doses.

            The table shows the radiation absorved doses of most important tissues for 177Lu-Dotatate, expressed in Rad or mGray  per mCi or MBq, respectively.  Note that the critical organ is the spleen.  If a total dose of 100 mCi or 3700 MBq (3,7 GBq) are injected then the total body absorved dose would be of  18,5 Rad or  185 mGy, respectively.
