Methods and computer readable media are disclosed for ultimately developing a dosimetry plan for a treatment volume irradiated during radiation therapy with a radiation source concentrated internally within a patient or incident from an external beam. The dosimetry plan is available in near"real-time" because of the novel geometric model construction of the treatment volume which in turn allows for rapid calculations to be performed for simulated movements of particles along particle tracks therethrough. The particles are exemplary representations of alpha, beta or gamma emissions emanating from an internal radiation source during various radiotherapies, such as brachytherapy or targeted radionuclide therapy, or they are exemplary representations of high-energy photons, electrons, protons or other ionizing particles incident on the treatment volume from an external source. In a preferred embodiment, a medical image of a treatment volume irradiated during radiotherapy having a plurality of pixels of information is obtained.

The invention relates to the preparation of 131I-thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and an application thereof, belonging to the field of radionuclide therapeutic drugs. The compound 131I-thyroid stimulating hormone is a radioiodine marker for thyroid stimulating hormone with pathoclisis in vivo acting on thyrocyte.

The present invention describes chemically modified avidins that have higher permanence in treated tissues compared to wild type avidin. Avidin oxidation is performed by periodate incubation in the presence of the low affinity ligand HABA which, occupying the biotin binding sites, prevents protein denaturation during the oxidation step. Periodate oxidation generates CHO groups from avidin mannose ring opening that, once injected, react with tissue NH2 residues to form stable Schiff's bases. The anchored avidins maintain the ability to bind biotinylated agents endowed of therapeutic activity, like radiolabeled biotins, stem cells and somatic cells, useful for brachytherapies like Intraoperative Avidination Radionuclide Therapy (IART®) or degenerative or genetic diseases.
