Absorbed dosea (Gy) to the nucleus of the central cell in a cluster for different distributions of 177Lu and 161Tb
| Cell surface | Intracytoplasmic | Whole cell | Intranuclear | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 177Lu | 7.2 (26%) | 8.3 (36%) | 11.0 (53%) | 15.7 (68%) |
| 161Tb | 15.1 (33%) | 17.9 (46%) | 29.1 (67%) | 47.8 (81%) |
| Enhancement factor 161Tb/177Lu | 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.6 | 3.0 |
aThe target cell is surrounded by a first neighbourhood of 6 cells and a second neighbourhood of 12 cells. The absorbed dose was computed considering a total electron energy release of 1436 MeV from the specific regions of interest from every cell of the cluster. The relative contribution of the self-dose is shown in parentheses
