Abstract:
In the case of an emergency exposure situation, in addition to the immediate measures to stop the release, there is also a need for measures to analyse the potential intakes of radionuclides among emergency personnel and the directly affected population. This catalogue of requirements could serve as a basis for the development of regulations in the event of emergency exposure situations and intends to refer, in particular, to the responsibilities and tasks, an estimate of the material and personnel requirements, and the metrological requirements. We present the catalogue that was developed by the working group "Monitoring of Intakes" of the German-Swiss Association for Radiation Protection taking into account German regulations.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
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...
