Abstract
The purpose of this study is to calculate and compare administered activities(MBq) and effective dose(mSv) of the various pediatric dose formulas of pediatric nuclear medicine and to provide base data for the criteria of the optimal administered activities. This study compares dosages and effective doses of 5 types of pediatric dose formulas(Clark rule, Area rule, Webster rule, Young rule, Solomon(Fried) rule) based on the dosage for adults of 2 types of radiopharmaceuticals($^{99m}Tc$-MDP, $^{99m}Tc$-Pertechnetate). The administered activities in adults, which is the criteria for calculating the Pediatric administered activities, used the value from the 'Nuclear Medicine' written by J-G Jeong & M-Ch Lee. and the administered activities by the radioactivity per effective dose(mSv/MBq) of the radiopharmaceuticals for calculating the effective dose used the value from ICRP 80 and the UNSCEAR 2008 Report. As a result of the study, the output of Young rule is the lowest, and its difference between other formulas is from minimum 1.7 times to maximum 3,4 times. The difference between administered activities of $^{99m}Tc$-MDP is maximum 309.9MBq and the effective dose is 3.76mSv. $^{99m}Tc$-Pertechnetate showed the figure at the maximum 154.9MBq and the effective dose has a difference of 5.50mSv. Since the pediatric dose formulas differ not only in administered activities but also in effective doses, the optimal administered activities have to be developed for optimization of medical radiation.
