摘要

A routinely used thyroid uptake counter in Nuclear Medicine is evaluated to determine if its sensitivity is sufficient to perform routine thyroid bioassays on Nuclear Medicine personnel involved in handling and administering radioactive iodine. The BiodexAtomlab 950 (PC) Medical Spectrometer thyroid uptake counter system is found to be sensitive to 0.48 kBq (0.013 mu Ci) for (131)1, which is 31% of the regulatory limit of 0.04 mu Ci. A computer program is developed that allows the Nuclear Medicine staff to perform their own thyroid counts with results automatically available to the Health Physics Lab via computer. Health Physics. 102(Supplement 2):S60-S62; 2012
