Estimation and calculation of radiation dose of copper-64 for nuclear medicine usage
Authors
Abstract:
Radioactive materials used in nuclear medicine are the radioisotopes or drugs that are identified with radioisotopes. A radiopharmaceutical transfusion is one of diagnostic methods and a radiation value approved should be measured. The nuclear medicine images of diagnostic methods can be made by a gamma camera (γ-camera). In this article, we used MCNPX2.4 for internal dosimetry assessment when the 64Cu radiopharmaceutical is in brain, heart or breast for imaging or treatment.

Assessment of radiation dose in nuclear medicine hot lab
Background: Hot lab is a specially designed room in a nuclear medicine hospital where the radiopharmaceuticals are delivered, stored and prepared for dispensing. 99Mo/99mTc-generator is the major source in the hot lab used for various medical imaging. It is important to maintain a standard for hot lab procedures to optimize the patient care and minimize radiation exposure to all nuclear medicin...
