Proposal Of Correction Factors For The Assessment Of The Maximum Exposure To Hands Of Workers Handling Radiopharmaceuticals Labelled With F-18: Based On Studies In CR And SR

Original language description

Aim: The local exposure of the skin on hands averaged over 1 cm2constitutes a limiting factor in handling radiopharmaceuticals. In most cases, the maximum local exposure is at the tip of the index finger. The aim of this paper is to determine the correction factors (CFs) to modify the value of the personal dose equivalent Hp(0.07) measured in places where finger dosimeters are worn (root index, middle or ring finger) in order to assess realistically the maximum local exposure of workers at selected PETnuclear medicine clinics in the Czech Republic (CR) and Slovak Republic (SR).Materials and methods: The group under investigation included the workers which were preparing or applying radiopharmaceuticals labeled with F-18 (three PET clinics in CR and SR). The quantity Hp(0.07) was determined based on TLDs where altogether 12 pairs of TLDs (MCP-Ns and MCP-7) on each operator's hands were used. The results were related to the activity manipulated by the worker (about 10 GBq). Up to now, 1
