Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the radiation exposure of the investigators' hand during free-hand single photon emission tomography/ultrasound ((99m)TcO4-fhSPECT/US) of the thyroid. Conventional dosimetry by rings with thermoluminescent detectors (TLDs) was performed in 32 patients (Group A), followed by TLD-chipstrate dosimetry in further 20 patients (Group B). In both the groups, the ambient dose rate was measured by dose rate meter...
