Summary of recommendations for parameters to be reported

Parameter(s) Recommendation, diagnostic tracers Recommendation, therapies
Absorbed dose for all source tissues and WB

Should be reported as population summary statistics including mean, standard deviation and range

AND

Should be reported for individual subjects including activity measurements at each time point, TAC parameters, and potentially volumes

Should be reported as population summary statistics including mean, standard deviation and range

AND

Should be reported for individual subjects including activity measurements at each time point, TAC parameters, and volumes

Absorbed doses to target tissues representing a complete set of human organs Should be reported as summary statistics and for individual subjects Should be reported as summary statistics and for individual subjects
Equivalent dose and effective dose

Should be reported using population data and most recent radiation and tissue weighting factors

If deemed relevant can also be reported using older sets of weighting factors

Non-sensical
Dose parameters for tumours or other regions of disease Not relevant Should be reported for individual regions, and as summary statistics for tumour type. Should include activity measurements at each time point, TAC parameters, and volumes
Dose parameters for organ sub-structures Not relevant If deemed relevant, to include activity measurements at each time point, TAC parameters, and potentially also volumes
Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) weighted absorbed doses for source tissues and/or regions of disease Non-sensical Optional (only for alpha- or auger-emitters)
Biological effective doses (BEDs) for source tissues and/or regions of disease Non-sensical Encouraged, reported for each individual and as summary statistics
Voxel-dose-maps, including volume cut-offs (such as D90% or D98%) for summary statistics Not relevant If deemed relevant
