Activity measurement upon receipt of the generator: dose measurement absorbed by Personnels

Abstract

Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine that is divided into two sections therapy and diagnosis, this branch uses radioactive nuclides generators that are combined with a carrier molecule, the patient is injected with one of these pharmaceutical compounds according to the purpose, which has the property of binding to the targeted organs and tissues for treatment, at this point the patient becomes a source of radiation, in addition to the radioactive materials used and some device, the abundance of radioactive source becomes very harmful to department employees in order to maintain this dose within the recommended ranges. Therefore, employees or professionally exposed individuals to radiation should benefit from monitoring the dose measurements for their job file, the aim of this work is to estimate and reduce the dose absorbed by employees.
