BACKGROUND With increasing use of medical radiologic procedures, wearing proper protector should be emphasized to reduce occupational radiation exposures. This research describes the rates of lead apron wearing for radiation protection and assessed occupational factors related to wearing rates for various types of healthcare professionals. METHODS We conducted a self-administered questionnair...

Since new radiopharmaceuticals are used like [18F]-fluoro-3'-deoxy-3'-Lfluorothymidine and 18F fluoromethylcholine, also new dynamic techniques of imaging are used, measurements concerning the doses to medical staff are needed. The aim of this study was to measure the effective whole body dose of the personnel and compare them with the oldest. Estimation of equivalent dose for all members of th...

Introduction Ionizing radiation comes from natural (radioactivity and cosmic radiation) or artificial sources. The ionizing radiation, which includes the X-ray radioactive isotopes produced in nuclear reactors, has many applications, notably industries, investigation medicine sectors, turning health professionals into exposed workers. Case description A case of a 61-year-old women, radiologic t...

introduction: active personal dosimeters (apds) are well accepted as useful and reliable instruments for individual dosimetry measurements. apds have many advantages compared with passive dosimeters for individual external radiation dose assessments. in routine monitoring, occupational exposure is carried out for verification and demonstration of compliance with the regulatory dose limits. so, ...
