Reliability of eye lens dosimetry in workers of a positron emission tomography radiopharmaceutical production facility

摘要

A new regulatory statement was issued concerning the eye lens radiation protection of persons in planned exposures. A debate was raised on the adequacy of the dosimetric quantity and on its method of measurement. The aim of this work was to establish the individual monitoring procedure with the EYE-D (TM) holder and a MCP-N LiF:Mg,Cu,P thermoluminescent chip detector for measuring the personal dose equivalent H-p(3) in workers of a Positron Emission Tomography Radiopharmaceutical Production Facility.
