The activity and local dose following a right index finger wound contamination by activation
products are assessed. Measurements with a high purity germanium detector and a four …

The aim of this paper is to describe the dosimetric evaluation of a point contamination that
occurred in a laboratory during the examination of an irradiated sample. The incident led to …

The computer code VARSKIN is used extensively to calculate dose to the skin resulting from
contaminants on the skin or on protective clothing covering the skin. The code uses six pre …

This paper describes a methodology to estimate embedded activity of 241Am and Pu
isotopes in a wound at an unknown depth. Theoretical calibration of an array of high-purity …

There is the possibility for a worker at a nuclear installation, such as a nuclear power reactor,
a fuel production facility or a medical facility, to come in contact with radioactive …

During nuclear medicine procedures technologists are exposed to relatively high extremity
doses as a result of manipulation of syringes and vials. These manipulations also involve a …

The authors propose a process to improve the medical management of a cutaneous
contamination in two ways: firstly by analysis of practices and products of decontamination …

The evaluation of skin doses during manipulation of radioactive sources can be a critical
issue for which the most accurate calculation strategies available should be used. The aim …

The aim of this work was to develop a computational tool that integrates several statistical
analysis features for biodistribution data from internal contamination experiments. These …

Staff preparing and injecting radiopharmaceuticals in hospitals may receive significant
radiation doses to their hands. These doses may be high enough to warrant that they be …
