Handling and administration of radiopharmaceuticals are a key contributor to staff radiation
dose. Shielded automated infusion devices potentially standardize and reduce radiation …

2185 Objectives To quantitate potential exposure reduction to PET technologists, a
retrospective review of dosimeter badges was performed before and after the initiation of an …

Objective: The use of 18F-FDG for clinical PET studies increases technologist radiation dose
exposure because of the higher γ-radiation energy of this isotope than of other conventional …

Purpose The aim of this study was to measure the occupational exposure using active
personal dosimeters (APD) in the PET/CT department at different stages of the operation …

An experience with an automated infuser device at a university hospital is presented in this
paper. Occupational doses at operators' fingertips were measured using optically stimulated …

Significant staff exposure is generally expected during PET-and PET/CT applications. Whole-
body doses as well as extremity doses are usually higher per procedure compared with …

Real time dosimetry was used to analyze nuclear medicine technologist dose from
performing positron emission tomography clinical imaging procedures. The purpose was to …

Increasingly hospitals are showing an interest in developing their imaging services to
include positron emission tomography (PET). There is therefore a need to be aware of the …

This work describes the design characteristics of a medical imaging centre which uses
positron emission tomography, with a cyclotron for fluorine-18 and nitrogen-13 production …

Background The recent spread of positron emission tomography-computed tomography
(PET/CT) poses extremity dosimetry challenges. The question arose whether the radiation …
