Purpose:The radiation exposure from radioisotope at the hands and foots of radiation workers who works in PET/CT part at the department of nuclear medicine was investigated in this study.
Materials and Methods:From 4th August 2010 to 14th January 2011, 6 radio-technologists’ radiation on hands and feet were measured. All radio-technologist have been examined around 8; morning, 12; afternoon, and 16 o’clock; evening, respectively. SPSS version 17 was used for statistical analysis.
Results:The statistical significances were calculated in several ways. The radiation from both hands and feet in the Morning was lower than Afternoon and Evening. In some cases, the detected radiation showed extremely high values in data. In order to find the effect of the -ray on the hand, the estimated doses were presumably calculated, however, the exposure dose on feet were unmeasured.
Conclusion: Even if the radiation exposure from the radioisotope at the hands and feet were under the limitations, it is definitely needs to prevent the radiation-contamination. Therefore, the radio-technologists need to have a proper radiation-dealing-procedure of their own, and must try to prevent a radiation exposure by themselves.
