Irradiation risks for hospital staff working with radiotechnetium
Description
The handling of technetium-99m can lead to the irradiation of personnel during the five main stages of its use. Experience shows that the nurses and radiopharmacists are subjected to an exposure difficult to reduce below a certain threshold, but with adequate precautions and job rotation the dose received by the personnel is nevertheless very slight. The practicians themselves, who have been the centre of attention over the last few years, undergo a negligible irradiation
Abstract (French)
La manipulation du technetium 99m peut entrainer l'irradiation du personnel au cours des cinq etapes principales de son utilisation. L'experience montre que les infirmieres et le radiopharmacien sont soumis a une exposition qu'il est difficile d'abaisser en deca d'un certain seuil. Avec suffisamment de precautions et une rotation des taches, le personnel recoit une dose neanmoins tres faible. Quant aux praticiens, sur qui l'attention a ete focalisee ces dernieres annees, ils sont soumis a une irradiation negligeableAdditional details
