Abstract:Aim:
This study was aimed to re-determine the radiation dose rate emitted from the patients who underwent
bone scintigraphy.
Material and Methods:
A mean of 20.87±2.54 mCi 99mTc-MDP was injected into patients. A GM counter was
used to measure dose rates in 3 different periods, at intervals of 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 cm from the patient's
anterior for head, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis levels. Measurements were used to determine patient-induced
environmental doses and radiation doses to personnel/patient rel… Show more
