The aim of this study was to compare the radiation doses received by the personnel drawing up and injecting the radiopharmaceutical and operating the nuclear scintigraphy equipment, and those restraining nine horses while they were being scanned during scintigraphic investigations of lameness. Sensitive electronic dosimeters were worn by the personnel and the doses they received during the administration of the radiopharmaceutical and during the period of image acquisition were recorded at intervals. On average, 90 per cent of the total doses were received during the period of image acquisition. There was no significant difference between the total dose received by the person who drew up and injected the radiopharmaceutical, and the person restraining the horse during its administration. However, the person holding the horse received approximately twice the dose received by the person operating the equipment during the period of image acquisition.
本研究的目的是比较配制和注射放射性药物以及操作核闪烁扫描设备的人员，与在马匹跛行闪烁扫描检查期间对9匹马进行保定的人员所接受的辐射剂量。相关人员佩戴了灵敏的电子剂量计，并定期记录他们在放射性药物给药期间和图像采集期间所接受的剂量。平均而言，总剂量的90%是在图像采集期间接受的。配制和注射放射性药物的人员与在给药期间保定马匹的人员所接受的总剂量之间没有显著差异。然而，在图像采集期间，保定马匹的人员所接受的剂量约为操作设备的人员的两倍。
