Abstrakt: The extremity exposure monitoring of nuclear medicine personnel is essential to control exposure in the workplace, to ensure that legal limits are not exceeded, to predict extremity doses and, if possible, to optimize workflow. Distribution of the doses over hand is nonuniform and the obtained doses by Hp(0.07) passive dosimeter can be significantly lower compared to fingertips. The aim of this study was to assess the extremity exposure of nuclear medicine workers working with 99mTc radionuclide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
