Abstract:
Objective: To understand the current situation of occupational internal exposure dose research using direct measurement method in China, and to explore the occupational internal dose level of nuclear medicine staff. Methods: From 2023 to April 2024, search on platforms such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Chinese Medical Journal Network, to collect research literature on the internal exposure dose monitoring of nuclear medicine staff and discuss the internal exposure dose assessment method. According to the literature reported thyroid (131)I activity level at the measuring time, the internal exposure dose level was estimated using the method recommended by GBZ 129-2016. Results: According to existing research reports on direct measurement using portable γ spectrometers, 6.1% of nuclear medicine workers may receive a (131)I dose greater than 1 mSv/a. Conclusion: It is necessary to conduct periodic continuous monitoring for personnel whose internal exposure dose may greater than 1 mSv/a, and it is necessary to explore the feasibility of periodic internal exposure monitoring method carried out by hospitals.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
