چکیده
Relation to high absorption fraction of Tc sestamibi by kidneys in heart scan and these organs are near to generation organs (Ovaries and uterus). Urinary system (kidneys and urinary bladder) are specified as sources organs. The main object of this study is to determine the absorbed dose in these critical organs. we have set amount of absorbed fraction radiopharmaceutical in position of kidneys and Urinary bladder in Rando phantom in form of elliptical surfaces, then absorbed dose to ovaries and uterus measured by TLD-100 that had set at position of these organs in Rando phantom. Results from ORNL phantom MIRD calculation TLD measurement and Rando phantom simulation (MCNP) are comprised. The absorbed dose to uterus and ovaries from urinary system for Rest are 0.139, 0.242 :Sv/MBq and for Stress state are 0.105, 0.182 :Sv/MBq, respectively.

Introduction: Thyroid cancer is at the ninth from ten of common malignant cancer. A man has higher risk to get Thyroid cancer that a woman has. This organ is lain near human neck. The use of radioactive I-131, I-123 and Tc-99m for diagnosis of thyroid cancer has a risk where other organs around Thyroid will accept dose of radiation. One of the risks is large dose which is accep...
