Gamma and beta radiation emitting radiopharmaceuticals are handled in nuclear medicine services, and in many cases there is only individual monitoring of gamma radiation. In this paper, the results obtained using a wrist dosimeter prototype (CaSO(4):Dy+Teflon pellets) show that the doses for workers occupationally exposed to beta radiation from (153)Sm are not negligible. It is important that this dose is evaluated, and it has to be taken into consideration in the individual monitoring system.
发射伽马和贝塔辐射的放射性药物在核医学服务中使用,并且在许多情况下仅对伽马辐射进行个人监测。在本文中,使用腕部剂量计原型(硫酸钙:镝+聚四氟乙烯颗粒)获得的结果表明,职业暴露于来自(153)钐的贝塔辐射的工作人员所接受的剂量不可忽略。评估该剂量很重要,并且在个人监测系统中必须予以考虑。
