About

Animal biodistribution studies are an essential step in developing novel radiopharmaceuticals. These studies allow to understand the radiotracer uptake in organs/tumours, and to predict behavior in humans. Moreover, this data can be used to perform dosimetry calculations to ensure safety and to aid in the determination of optimal injected activities, which is particularly important for therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. Here we present Biodi, an application aiming to automate the analysis of biodistribution studies, simplify/enable dosimetry calculations, and centralize the storage of multiple experiments in a database for simpler radiopharmaceutical comparisons and statistical analyses. The application is web-based, easy to deploy, and has been made open-source for easy access by researchers in the nuclear medicine community.

Deployment
