This paper quantifies the extent of the radiation hazard to personnel from horses undergoing scintigraphy using technetium99m methylene diphosphonate (99Tcm-MDP). From the data produced it is possible to derive safe working protocols which are comfortably within the legislated limits for whole body doses as set out in the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1985. Measurements were made of the surface and environmental activities which result from individuals undergoing scintigraphic evaluation and also from urine contaminated bedding. The use of both high and low activities in the assessment of the radiation hazard to personnel and owners is considered.
本文对使用锝99m亚甲基二膦酸盐（99Tcm-MDP）进行闪烁扫描的马匹对人员造成的辐射危害程度进行了量化。根据所产生的数据，可以制定出安全的工作规程，这些规程完全符合1985年《电离辐射条例》规定的全身剂量法定限值。对接受闪烁扫描评估的个体以及受尿液污染的 bedding所产生的表面和环境活度进行了测量。在评估对人员和马匹主人的辐射危害时，考虑了使用高活度和低活度的情况。
