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

Many studies have demonstrated that the exposure of nuclear medicine technologists arises
primarily from radioactive patients rather than from preparation of radiopharmaceuticals …

Objective: Nuclear medicine technologists rely on a single dosimeter to measure their work-
related dose. Estimates of whole-body effective dose are based on the assumptions that the …

In Brazil there are 231 nuclear medicine institutions, public and private, 360 nuclear
medicine physicians and a great number of technicians who are sparsely monitored. During …

Background: This study assessed the radiation safety at Nuclear Medicine Department
being a work environment. Ionizing radiation exposure of the employees in the last 19 years …

Exposure due to nuclear medicine practice can be either external or internal. External
exposure is fairly straightforward, while internal exposure is quite complex and often …

Within a few years of its discovery, ionizing radiation demonstrated adverse effects on
biologic systems. Since that time, great strides have been made in radiation protection …

Abstract The International Commission on Radiological Protection recommends the
adoption of the linear, no-threshold model as a predictive risk model for radiation protection …

Monitoring of staff's radiation exposure in medicine is an important radiation protection task.
This study aimed to measure the staff doses in the nuclear medicine (NM) and interventional …

Radiation exposures incurred by nuclear medicine technologists during diagnostic imaging
and scintillation camera quality control were measured on a procedural basis over a 3-mo …
