1c 76 Dian Islamiyati Yusniawan Abstract
ABSTRACT :
Objective
There has been an increase in the use of radioactive materials in diagnostic imaging,
putting nuclear medicine personnel at increased medical risks. Worldwide, there is limited
data regarding extremity dose exposure with multiple studies showing wide dose variability.
Result
Within each of the three groups, the annual radiation dose was similar; however, there
was large intergroup variation as would be expected due to the different roles each personnel
has. However, in all cases, the extremity dose was less than the annual dose limit (500 mSv)
set.
Conclusion
Hence, this reveals a wide variation in dose among the personnel. This revealed a
wide variation in dose among the personnel, highlighting the need for careful assessment of
working conditions to ensure annual occupational exposures below the recommended limits.
