during the past years, special emphasis was put on medical preparedness in the event of radiological or nuclear emergencies. novin medical radiation institute (nmri) encouraged and supported the national authorities to enhance their cooperation in improving medical response to radiation accident. nmri in cooperation with international atomic energy agency (iaea) and atomic energy organization o...

The sources of errors associated with the measurement of nuclear radiations includethe noise associated with the radiation pulse, the dead time required for the processing of the incident radiation pulse and the pileup of pulses. In analogue processing, these errors are often downplayed leading to appreciable errors in the observed results. Some digital processors have been designed and built a...

Semiconductor radiation detectors play an important role in radiation instrumentation. They have many advantages due to their small size, outstanding energy resolution in nuclear spectroscopy, easy pixilation for high spatial resolution and ability of integration with readout electronics. Advancement in microelectronic industry made silicon one of the most popular material for radiation detecto...

In 1945, within the frame of the Uranium Project for the production of nuclear weapons, the Mayak nuclear facilities were constructed at the Lake Irtyash in the Southern Urals, Russia. The nuclear workers of the Mayak Production Association (MPA), who lived in the city of Ozyorsk, are the focus of epidemiological studies for the assessment of health risks due to protracted exposure to ionising ...

Nuclear safety has always been a focal point in the field of nuclear applications. Mobile robots carrying specific sensors for nuclear-radiation detection have become an alternative to manual detection. This work presents autonomous α/β radiation mapping framework, using mobile robot light and ranging (LiDAR) nuclear-radiation-detection sensor. The method employs simultaneous localization (SLAM...

background: ct scan and nuclear medicine exams deliver a great part of medical exposures. this study examined professional radiation hazards in ct scan and nuclear medicine workers.   methods : in a cross sectional study 30 occupationally exposed workers and 7 controls (all from personnel of a laboratory) were selected. physical dosimetry was performed for exposed workers. blood samples were ob...

Background: Diazinon is one of the most common pesticides in the world playing a similar role to radiation and it could cause DNA breaks and genetic effects.Objective: In this study, radiosensitivity of a lymphoblastic cell line pretreated by Diazinon was investigated. Material and Methods: In this case-control study, the human lymphoblastic T-cell line was divided into 6 groups bas...

Abstract. Nuclear spin noise spectroscopy in the absence of radio frequency pulses was studied under influence pulsed field gradients (PFGs) on pure and mixed liquids. Under conditions where radiation-damping-induced line broadening is smaller than gradient-dependent inhomogeneous broadening, echo responses can be observed difference spectra between experiments employing gradient pairs same opp...

Introduction: Occupational exposure to ionizing radiation due to medical activities (both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures) has increased sharply in recent years. Among the occupationally exposed workers in these fields, those most affected by this increased exposure to ionizing radiation are nuclear medicine workers. In this study, annual average effective dose, annual collective effectiv...
