Assessment of Patient dose and radiation risks at a nuclear medicine department
This study evaluates the radiation dose received by patients during the parathyroid SPECT/CT procedure and extrapolates the associated cancer risks for sensitive organs. The radiation doses were assessed for 20 patients, 12 females (60%) and eight males (40%), who underwent the SPECT/CT procedure. The organs of the patients and the effective dose were determined using the administered activity of 99mTc--methoxyisobutylisonitrilec (MIBI) (AA, MBq) and the dose from the external CT procedure. All procedures utilized two-hybrid systems (GE and Siemens SPECT/CT) at King Saud Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The overall average and range of the effective dose (mSv) is 6.0 (3.1 to 7.5) per SPECT/CT procedure. The probability of cancer risk is oner per 3400 SPECT/CT procedure, on average. The CT procedures contributed 89.1 % of the total effective dose, while 10.9 % resulted from external exposure (CT exposure). The dose per SPECT/CT examination is lower than most reported literature due to the optimised usage of radionuclides’ and CT image acquisition protocol. The findings of this study are significant in understanding the radiation safety and imaging procedures in the medical field.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
