Assessment of Patient and Staff Annual Effective Doses at a Nuclear Medicine Department during Bone Scans

The current research aims to assess the staff and patients’ effective doses during Nuclear medicine (NM) bone scans procedures. administered activity was utilized quantify doses, while personnel’s were quantified using thermoluminescent detectors (TLD-100). average 650 (440 1440) MBq procedures SPECT gamma camera system. annual dose (mSv) estimated be 2.3 (0.1 4.9). typical patient’s 4.9 (3.6 6.0) mSv per procedure. Staff exposure within yearly limits. Patients’ optimization is required based on patient weight. Estimating eye lens suggested confirm that radiation are safety range.
