Data on occupational radiation exposure from nuclear medicine procedures for the
time period of the 1950s through the 1970s is important for retrospective health
risk studies of medical personnel who conducted those activities. However,
limited information is available on occupational exposure received by physicians
and technologists who performed nuclear medicine procedures during those years.
To better understand and characterize historical radiation exposures to
technologists, the authors collected information on nuclear medicine practices in
the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. To collect historical data needed to reconstruct
doses to technologists, a focus group interview was held with experts who began
using radioisotopes in medicine in the 1950s and the 1960s. Typical protocols and
descriptions of clinical practices of diagnostic radioisotope procedures were
defined by the focus group and were used to estimate occupational doses received
by personnel, per nuclear medicine procedure, conducted in the 1950s to 1960s
using radiopharmaceuticals available at that time. The radionuclide activities in
the organs of the reference patient were calculated using the biokinetic models
described in ICRP Publication 53. Air kerma rates as a function of distance from
a reference patient were calculated by Monte Carlo radiation transport
calculations using a hybrid computational phantom. Estimates of occupational
doses to nuclear medicine technologists per procedure were found to vary from
less than 0.01 ?Sv (thyroid scan with 1.85 MBq of administered I-iodide) to 0.4
?Sv (brain scan with 26 MBq of Hg-chlormerodin). Occupational doses for the same
diagnostic procedures starting in the mid-1960s but using Tc were also estimated.
The doses estimated in this study show that the introduction of Tc resulted in an
increase in occupational doses per procedure.
