At the time of PET study the patient was symptomless...
متن کاملEstimating the radiation dose of non-radiation workers from nuclear medicine patients
Introduction: As a valuable imaging modality, Nuclear Medicine (NM) indications is raising in clinical practice. The remained portion administrated radioactive material in patients’ tissues is a critical issue, especially when the procedure is performed in hospitalized patients, where the non-radiation workers present. The aim of this study was evaluation the dose of non-radia...
