In an attempt to lower whole-body and hand radiation exposure to the technologist and
decrease the number of infiltrated doses, our laboratory instituted a “cold start” method for …

Since there has not been a great deal in the literature on personnel radiation exposure,
particularly to the hands, we investigated the question of which phase of radionuclide …

Radiation doses to the fingers of occupational workers handling 99mTc-labeled compounds
and 131I for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in nuclear medicine were measured by …

We calculate radiation exposure to the nuclear medicine technologist for all common
sources of exposure. Special attention is given to exposure received by fingertips. We …

Objective: Our unique and highly specialized nuclear medicine department provided an
opportunity to analyze radiation exposure to nuclear medicine technologists (NMTs). The …

Radiologists and technologists are occasionally concerned about the radiation exposure
that they may receive during the performance of routine diagnostic radiologic studies that …

Staff preparing and injecting radiopharmaceuticals in hospitals may receive significant
radiation doses to their hands. These doses may be high enough to warrant that they be …

Objective: In the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals, staff receive considerable radiation
exposure to the hands during withdrawal of activity from the elution vial, from a combination …

Study of the distribution of radiation dose across both hands during the dispensing and
administration of radiopharmaceuticals is useful in the assessment of the extremity doses …

One of the most frequently used diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures is done with 99
mTc radionuclides. Activities of radionuclides being administered may be even as high as 1 …
