Nuclear Radiation Detection

Radiation dose to the nuclear medicine nurses

Background: People who have been administrated radiopharmaceuticals could be a source of radiation to their relatives, medical nurses, and people who are in contact with them. The aim of this work was to estimate radiation dose received by nuclear medicine nurses. Materials and Methods: In this study, the dose rates at various distances of 5 – 100 cm from 70 patients, who were administered diag...

Small Teleoperated Robot for Nuclear Radiation and Chemical Leak Detection

In order to meet the actual requirements of nuclear radiation and chemical leak detection, and emergency response, a new small teleoperated robot for nuclear radiation and chemical detection is proposed. A small‐size robot is manufactured according to technical requirements and the overall structure and control system is described. Meanwhile, based on the ...

Estimating the radiation dose of non-radiation workers from nuclear medicine patients

Introduction: As a valuable imaging modality, Nuclear Medicine (NM) indications is raising in clinical practice. The remained portion administrated radioactive material in patients’ tissues is a critical issue, especially when the procedure is performed in hospitalized patients, where the non-radiation workers present. The aim of this study was evaluation the dose of non-radia...
