AB Radiation monitoring of the fingers and torso during loading and “milking” of an automated solvent-extraction-type 99mTc generator showed that technologists received higher exposures than when using the more conventional elution-type generators. The wide range of exposure doses that were measured during various procedures indicated that continual emphasis on good practice would result in a significant reduction in the accumulated radiation exposure dose.
