Occupational Effective in Nuclear Medicine & Radiotherapy in Empolyees Departments in ( Sudan )

Abstract

In the present study the (TLD’s liF:Mg,Cu,P (GR200) have been used to measure the radiation effective doses of the workers of both the Khartoum Isotope Hospital and Medani Isotope Hospital the state of Gezira, (Isotope Section and Radiotherapy departments ). The (TLD’s) was used to measure the level of the effective dose by the workers of the different medical professions (technicians, specialist in physics, physicians, and nurses (male). (30) Workers of different medical professions at the hospitals subject of the study were chosen. The (TLD’s) badge were used for the period of three successive months, to measure the effective dose in each month. The main objective of the thesis is to know the effective dose for the workers during their work, as well as the safety and to compare the results obtained with other countries and with the reference dose level recommended by ICRP. The doses obtained, during a period of three months , were range from(0.16 to 0.89) mSv at Khartoum Isotope hospital and from (0.08 to 0.21)mSv at Medani Isotope Hospital, which are reasonable and acceptable comparing with reference dose level (20 mSv pe year ICRP).
