چکیده

background: pet/ct imaging using [18f]-fdg is utilized in clinical oncology for tumor detecting, staging and responding to therapy procedures. essential consideration must be taken for radiation staff due to high gamma radiation in pet/ct and cyclotron center. the aim of this study was to assess the staff exposure regarding whole body and organ dose and to evaluate environment dose in pet/ct and cyclotron center. materials and methods: 80 patients participated in this study. thermoluminescence, electronic personal dosimeter and geiger–muller dosimeter were also utilized for measurement purpose. results: the mean annual equivalent organ dose for scanning operator with regard to lens of eyes, thyroid, breast and finger according to mean±sd value, were 0.262±0.044, 0.256±0.046, 0.257±0.040 and 0.316±0.118, respectively. the maximum and minimum estimated annual whole body doses were observed for injector and the chemist group with values of (3.98±0.021) msv/yr and (1.64±0.014) msv/yr, respectively. the observed dose rates were 5.67 µsv/h in uptake room at the distance of 0.5 meter from the patient whereas the value 4.94 and 3.08 µsv/h were recorded close to patient’s head in pet/ct room and 3.5 meter from the reception desk. conclusion: in this study, the injector staff and scanning operator received the first high level and second high level of radiation. this study confirmed that low levels of radiation dose were received by all radiation staff during pet/ct procedure using 18f-fdg due to efficient shielding and using trained radiation staff in pet/ct and cyclotron center of masih daneshvari hospital.
