The MIRD methodology as implemented in MIRD pamphlet 11 is not easily applied to the dosimetry problems associated with the targeting of cancer by therapeutic amounts of radiolabeled antibodies. The MABDOSE program was created to address these problems. Specifically, it allows the interactive definition of arbitrary sources and targets of radioactivity (representative of solid tumors) within the Reference Man geometry. In contrast with other programs, MABDOSE Integrates the calculation of cumulated activity into the dose computation environment. The program runs under the windows operating system, and uses an intuitive graphical interface to allow the creation of models representative of the movement of radioactivity through the body. Database facilities allow the storage and recall of previously validated models. The 6 Reference Man phantoms are provided with resolution of 1 cm{sup 3}, with the option of creating other resolution data sets. The operator can either read in {prime}S{prime} values from disk or simulate radiation transport, taking advantage of a collection of parallel micro-processors to decrease computation time. The program is currently being validated against the published Mird 11 {prime}S{prime} tables. The MABDOSE program offers a unique computation tool for the calculation of internal radionuclide dosimetry.
