NCINM is the nuclear medicine component of NCI Dose Tools. It supports organ dose assessment for radionuclide and radiopharmaceutical procedures using computational human phantoms, radionuclide data, and biokinetic models.
NCINM is developed and maintained in the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), Radiation Epidemiology Branch, and is supported by the peer-reviewed methods listed below.
Resource Overview
- Estimates organ absorbed doses and dose per administered activity for nuclear medicine procedures.
- Uses reference-size pediatric and adult phantoms, and pregnancy phantoms
- Uses a comprehensive library of S values pre-calculated using Monte Carlo radiation transport combined with decay data and computational phantoms.
- Supports interactive and batch workflows.
