"Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) requires on average an absorbed dose 3 times higher than EBRT to achieve equivalent effects in vitro. Traditional dosimetry overestimates #RBE by underestimating absorbed dose"

The thing about leadership is to realize that in the end, the vision and mission is above you. More importantly, your members will help achieve the goal. @aapmhq.bsky.social is blessed to have @mmahesh.bsky.social as  its President and @robinmiller95.bsky.social as President-Elect because as busy as they have been past few days, they always made time to have a conversation, listen about our experience so far, keep encouraging us to do good work, and happily agree to take photos 🙂
