The eye lens exposure among 16 technicians in two nuclear medicine departments at university hospitals in Finland was investigated by measuring the operational quantity Hp(3) using EYE-D dosemeters. For all workers, the annual mean Hp(3) was estimated to be 1.1 mSv (max. 3.9 mSv). The relation between Hp(3) to routinely monitored personal dose equivalent Hp(10) was clearly correlated. Considering individual dose measurement periods (2–4 weeks), the Hp(3)/Hp(10) ratio was 0.7 (Pearson’s coefficient r = 0.90, p < 0.001, variation of ratio 0.1–2.3). The variation decreased considerably with increasing Hp(10) (σ2 = 0.04 vs. 0.43 for Hp(10) > 0.1 mSv vs. < 0.1 mSv, respectively), i.e. higher Hp(10) predicts Hp(3) more reliably. Moreover, annual Hp(10) data from national dose register during 2009–2018 were used to derive the annual Hp(3) applying the Hp(3)/Hp(10) ratio. The data from Finnish nuclear medicine departments imply that routine measurements of Hp(3) among nuclear medicine technicians are not justified.

“…However, it is necessary to calibrate TL detectors in a radiation field with appropriate energy and using appropriate phantoms. Some well-known reference sources used in the calibration procedure are Cs-137, Co-60, and Sr-90/Y-90 (International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements 1992, Szumska et al 2013, Wrzesień 2020. Moreover, calibrations are also performed with the use of low-energy x-rays (Alves et al 2008, Borges et al 2014, Wrzesień 2019, Kr-85, or using the self-irradiation phenomenon of detectors made of potassium halide (Pashchenko et al 1995).…”

Many laboratories around the world work on the issue of protection against ionising radiation. It is a very broad topic, covering both the protection of members of the public and workers exposed to ionising radiation, based on personal or environmental monitoring. Thermoluminescence detectors are commonly used for this purpose, which is accepted in most countries. The entire process of dose evaluation with such dosimeters can be divided into several steps. Undoubtedly, one of the most important steps is the calibration procedure. The calibration should be performed in conditions as similar as possible to those experienced during the exposure. Moreover, the calibration is performed using only the Cs-137 source. This article presents results of Panasonic UD-802 irradiation dosimeters in different radiation fields generated by Cs-137, Kr-85, Sr-90/Y-90 and an x-ray tube, series N, and at different angles such as 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°. On the basis of the obtained results, the calibration coefficients and correction factors were determined in relation to calibration based on Cs-137 or Sr-90/Y-90 irradiated at 0°.
