In Vitro comparison of 213Bi- and 177Lu-radiation for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.

BACKGROUND:Absorbed doses for α-emitters are different from those for β-emitters, as the high linear energy transfer (LET) nature of α-particles results in a very dense energy deposition over a relatively short path length near the point of emission. This highly localized and therefore high energy d...
