Validation of a Molecular Radiotherapy (MRT) dosimetry system requires imaging data for which an accompanying "ground truth" pharmacokinetic model and absorbed dose calculation are known. Methods: We present a methodology for production of a validation dataset for image based 177Lu dotatate dosimetry calculations. A pharmacokinetic model is presented with activity concentrations corresponding to common imaging timepoints. Anthropomorphic 3D printed phantoms, corresponding to the organs at risk, have been developed to provide SPECT/CT and Whole Body imaging with known organ activities corresponding to common clinical timepoints. Results: Results for the accuracy of phantom filling reproduce the activity concentrations from the pharmacokinetic model for all timepoints and organs within measurement uncertainties, with a mean deviation of 0.6(8)%. The imaging dataset, ancillary data and phantoms designs are provided as a source of well characterized input data for the validation of clinical MRT dosimetry systems. Conclusions: The combination of pharmacokinetic modelling with the use of anthropomorphic 3D printed phantoms are a promising procedure to provide data for the validation of Molecular Radiotherapy Dosimetry systems, allowing multicentre comparisons.Citation
