Dose Received by Technologists for PET Procedures Before Implementing Shielding Procedures
| Procedure | n | Mean dose ± SD | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| μSv/procedure | nSv/MBq | |||
| Injection, no shield | 26 | 2.5 ± 1.0 | 6.8 ± 2.7 | |
| Injection, primary shield | 50 | 1.4 ± 0.7 | 3.8 ± 1.9 | |
| Patient setup | 20 | 1.3 ± 0.7 | 3.5 ± 1.9 | |
| Catheter flush | 5 | 0.8 ± 0.5 | 2.2 ± 1.4 | |
Dose per megabecquerel is calculated for an assumed activity of 370 MBq.
