Abstract
In this study, eight cases of workers in gamma camera scans and Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT scan) fields (employed for various medical diagnoses) had their complete blood counts (CBCs) assessed. From the first hour of work until the last, the investigation of radiation’s impact on hematology was ongoing. By using a personal dose meter (Geiger Badge), the radiation exposure reading for a whole workday is directly recorded in (μSv). The study concluded that while the number of WBC count increased for all workers after radiation exposure, the number of RBC count decreased after exposure, suggesting that RBC amount may be a reliable indicator of exposure degree.
