This practice represents a risk of incorporation by these radionuclides. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recommends the implementation of an internal monitoring program on workers potentially exposed to annual effective doses higher than 1 mSv, as for example, those who handle 131I for therapy. Currently, in Brazil, there are not enough available laboratories qualified to provide internal monitoring services to attend all possible demand of internal monitoring if such regulation were applied by the Brazilian Nuclear Regulatory Board (CNEN). Therefore, the objective of this work is to provide simple and inexpensive methods for in vivo routine thyroid monitoring of 131I using equipment available in the clinics itself. Thus, diagnostic devices available in four public hospitals located in the city of Rio de Janeiro were calibrated for use in occupational internal monitoring. The devices evaluated in this work to measure 131I in workers´ thyroid presented enough sensitivity to estimate intakes that would deliver committed effective doses below 1 mSv per year. 2018 artículo científico 2319-0612 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=722280826005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7222 Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Proteção Radiológica - SBPR Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences (Brasil) Num.2A Vol.6 |
