Abstract

zloženi radnici koji rade u nuklearnoj medicini (NM) i laboratorijskoj dijagnostici (LD) manipuliraju otvorenim radioaktivnim izvorima koji se primjenjuju pacijentima u dijagnostičke i terapijske svrhe. Pri tom rukovanju ionizirajućem zračenju su najizloženije šake. Kako bi se procijenile ekvivalentne doze za kožu i šake izloženih radnika i istraživanju mogućih izloženosti preko granica doze, mjeren je osobni dozni ekvivalent Hp(0,07) uporabom termoluminiscentnih dozimetara u prsten nosaču u jednoj hrvatskoj kliničkoj bolnici. Pojedinačno praćenje provedeno je godinu dana s mjernim periodima od mjesec dana. Preporučeno dozno ograničenje za izložene radnike u NM i LM treba se uspostaviti radi optimizacije zaštite od zračenja i smanjenja primljenih doza. Osoblje u NM i LD bi trebalo motivirati da nosi prsten dozimetre u cilju poboljšanja pouzdanosti izmjerenih doza. Rezultati rutinskog praćenja mogli bi identificirati potencijalno

Abstract (english)

Exposed workers in nuclear medicine (NM) and laboratory diagnostics (LD) handle open radioactive sources which are administered to patients for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. During the handling the skin and hands are the most exposed part of the body. In order to assess the equivalent doses for the skin and hands of the exposed workers and to investigate possible exposure above dose limits, the personal dose equivalent Hp (0,07) was measured using ring thermoluminescent dosimeters in one Croatian clinical hospital. Individual monitoring was conducted during a period of one year with monthly measurement periods. The recommended dose constraint for workers exposed to radiation in NM and LM is to be established to optimize radiation protection and to reduce exposure. Personnel in NM and LD should be motivated to wear ring dosimeters to improve the reliability of dose measurements. The results of the routine monitoring could identify potentially undesirable actions and allow one to take the steps necessary to eliminate them.
