This study assesses the effectiveness of using everyday cleaning agents for the radioactive
decontamination of wet 99mTc-pertechnetate spills in the nuclear medicine department …

In accord with as-low-as-reasonably-achievable and good-manufacturing-practice concepts,
the present study evaluated the efficiency of radioactivity decontamination of materials …

Working with unsealed radioactive sources in nuclear medicine carries the potential risk of
