Evaluation of the dose received by women worker in the lung scan centers use 99mTC-MAA by experimental and simulation

Abstract

One of the most important groups that can be exposed to nuclear radiation is pregnant women and their fetus. This group of people can be technicians at nuclear centers located in the patients undergoing treatment or nuclear medicine diagnostic centers. The purpose of the paper is to determine the rate of doses received by female technicians who are indirectly in the vicinity of nuclear radiation. In order to verify the results of computer simulation, a comparison was made with experimental results from the nuclear medicine department of Imam Hossein Hospital in Shahroud. The statistical analysis of the results showed that there was a significant difference between the simulation results and there are no experimental results.
