Description
Skin absorbed doses due to subcutaneous leakage of radioactive pharmaceuticals were estimated by three calculating methods. The radioactive pharmaceuticals used in calculation were 67Ga-citrate, 99mTc-HMDP, 111In-Cl, 123I-IMP, 131I-Adosterol, 201Tl-Chloride which are used frequently and in large amount in the daily examination. Time taken to remove contamination, range of contamination and ratio of leakage were assumed to be 30 minutes, 10 cm2 and 30% respectively. The skin absorbed doses calculated on this assumption were less than the threshold value that is found to cause skin disorders by Yamaguchi method. We confirmed the misprints of ICRU report 56 in the process of this calculation. (author)
