Establishment of transfer standard for holmium-166-DOTMP.
The measurement of 166Ho, both as a chloride solution and as [166Ho]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetramethylenephoonic acid (DOTMP), was examined for four models of radionuclide calibrators: Capintec CRC-35R (two chambers), Capintec 712MX, AtomLab 100 (two chambers), and a Capintec CRC-12. Holmium-166 chloride was measured as 16 ml in 20-ml glass dose vials. Diagnostic imaging level [166Ho]DOTMP solutions, nominally 400 MBqg(-1), were measured as 12 ml in 20-ml dose vials. Finally, therapeutic level [166Ho]DOTMP solutions, nominally 9GBqg(-1), were measured as aliquots of 100-500 microl in sealed plastic vials of 10-ml saline. Single calibration factors for each instrument manufacturer are recommended for 12-16-ml of either solution in 20-ml glass dose vials, (673+/-9) x 10 and 72.7+/-0.7, for the Capintec and AtomLab models, respectively. Calibration factors recommended for the therapeutic dose geometry are (706+/-6) x 10 and 68.7+/-1.3, for the Capintec and AtomLab models, respectively. The calibration factors recommended for an NIST 5-ml ampoule are (686+/-5) x 10 and 70.9+/-0.4 for the Capintec and AtomLab models, respectively.
