¹³¹Iodine Routine Monitoring Program: Ten Years Evaluation

The Centre of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging of the University Hospital (CMNIM) jointly with the Radiochemistry Department of the Faculty of Chemistry settled the Internal Dosimetry Laboratory (IDL) in 2004. This group works both in monitoring potential internal contaminations with 131-Iodine in occupationally exposed personnel (OEP) due to the manipulation of open sources for therapy purposes and performing individualized dosimetry in patients treated with ¹³¹I and ¹⁷⁷Lu [1]. In the framework of the IAEA Technical Cooperation Project RLA9075 entitled ''Strengthening of the national infrastructure for compliance with regulations and requirements regarding radiological protection for end users'', the IDL received a donation of a Captus 3000 (Capintec) equipment in 2008.
