Abstract:
In Canada, occupational exposure to medical technologists accounts for about 8 per cent of all occupational exposure. In this paper, occupational doses to Manitoban radiation technologists (RTs) in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy are presented for the period 1978-1988. Particular attention is paid to the distribution of dose among this population. The importance of age and sex demographics on radiation detriment is also estimated.
