- A PEDIATRIC SIMULATED DOSIMETRY...
The goal is to develop a software that will offer clinicians the possibility to assess internal pediatric dosimetry and optimize Nuclear Medical Imaging clinical protocols in terms of personalized prediction models.
Start date: 01/06/2021
Duration in months: 18
Problem Description
Developing and optimising dosimetry protocols in pediatric applications are of great social interest in the worldwide health community as children are much more sensitive to ionising radiation than adults. There are only rough estimations of the administered dose that a child should receive.
Goals
New services
Challenges
To create a precise dosimetry software to accurately evaluate the absorbed dose at organ level.
Innovation results
The resulting software allows clinicians to assess internal dosimetry and optimise Nuclear Medical imaging clinical protocols towards personalised medicine, permitting an individual dose calculation for each new pediatric patient.
Business impact
PediDose has been technically integrated into the evorad® suite, a competitive healthcare software for medical imaging. After further maturation and obtaining CE Mark and FDA approval, this add-on is expected to generate additional net income for IKH of about €1.25 Mil within the next five years.
