| Abstract |
Finger exposure in workers holding a syringe containing radionuclide solution was both calculated and measured using ionisation chambers, thermoluminescent dosimeters and film dosimeters. In an extreme case in which a physician carries out 25 brain scintigraphs (99mTc), 10 lung scintigraphs (131J), and 10 liver scintigraphs (198Au) per week, the dose received still does not exceed the Czechoslovak maximum permissible finger dose (4.5rem). The weekly finger dose in the author's medical department was estimated at between 0.5 and 1.5R. |
