Radiation safety audit of a high volume Nuclear Medicine Department

INTRODUCTION: Professional radiation exposure cannot be avoided in nuclear medicine practices. It can only be minimized up to some extent by implementing good work practices. AIM AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to audit the professional radiation exposure and exposure rate of radiation work...
