Abstract
(131)I has been widely used in nuclear medicine for many years, particularly in the form of iodide for the diagnosis and therapy of thyroid cancer and other thyroid diseases. Manual dispensing of radioiodine-based radiopharmaceuticals results in potentially significant radiation doses to the hands of nuclear medicine personnel performing this task. This article reports the results of thermoluminescent dosemeter-based measurement of radiation doses at various points on the hands of personnel dispensing radioiodine radiopharmaceuticals.
