[Evaluation of exposure to ionizing radiation among gamma camera operators].
BACKGROUND Protection of nuclear medicine unit employees from hazards of the ionizing radiation is a crucial issue of radiation protection services. We aimed to assess the severity of the occupational radiation exposure of technicians performing scintigraphic examinations at the Nuclear Medicine Department, Central Teaching Hospital of Medical University in Lódz, where thousands of different di...
متن کاملEnvironmental gamma radiation: a comment (Letter to the Editor)
Editor, I read the recent publication by Toossi et al. with a great interest (1). Toossi et al. concluded that “Average gonad and bone marrow doses for North Khorasan, Boshehr and Hormozgan provinces were less than the corresponding values for normal area (2).” There are some facts on this report to be concerned. I agree that the detected levels might be high in the mentioned area, but th...
متن کاملGamma-ray spectral imaging using a single-shutter radiation camera
As part of a program to develop mobile robots for reactor environments, we are developing a radiation-imaging camera capable of operating in medium-intensity ( < 2 R/h), medium-energy ( < 8 MeV) gamma-ray fields . A systematic study of available detectors indicated the advisability of a high-Z scintillator. The raster-scanning camera uses a lead-shielded bismuth germanate (BGO) scmtillator (1 ....
