Assessment of the Exposure of Radiation Workers in Nuclear Medicine with Some Results from the Czech Republic
Original language description
During the manipulation with radiopharmaceuticals, workers in nuclear medicine always receive certain exposure which is continuously monitored and strictly controlled by relevant national regulatory authorities. This exposure should be minimized following the ALARA principle and be at all times below prescribed limits or reference levels. The paper presents some results of the assessment of radiation doses of nuclear medicine personnel where special attention is paid to the exposure of the extremities and to the skin of hands in particular. It has been observed that the skin dose of some workers may exceed the relevant annual dose limit and therefore some measures should be adopted to reduce this exposure. The situation in the Czech Republic related to the radiation burden of workers in nuclear medicine is outlined and conclusions discussed.
