Estimation of radiation exposure of workers in radionuclide therapy using I-131 and Lu-177
Original language description
The aim of the ALARA principle is to keep the exposure as low as reasonably achievable. Appropriate means to achieve radiation doses within the relevant dose limits and reference levels require the effective management of working procedures, the use of adequate protection equipment and suitable shielding, the appropriate layout of the workplace and expertise in radiation protection. Using theranostic radionuclides emitting mixed radiation is widely used in workplaces of nuclear medicine for diagnostics and therapy. The best-known theranostic radionuclide is 131I. In recent years, another theranostic radionuclide 177Lu has also found numerous applications. The aim of the paper is to estimate the radiation exposure of workers dealing with 131I and 177Lu. This includes both exposure of the skin of hands during selected activities and assessment of the whole-body exposure of personnel.
