The Hp (10) and Hp (0.07) readings for 15 workers including nuclear medicine (NM) physicians, nurses, and technologists who performed tasks in PET\/CT and SPECT\/CT were retrieved and analysed retrospectively. The results showed that in 2022, the average accumulated Hp (10) values for NM physicians, nurses, and technologists were, 1.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.3\u00a0mSv, 1.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.4\u00a0mSv, and 2.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.6\u00a0mSv, respectively. Compared with 2022 (9.45\u00a0mSv vs 16.07\u00a0mSv), the mean annual extremity doses to nurses and technologists increased by 37.5% and 44.6%, respectively, in 2023 (15.11\u00a0mSv vs 29.05\u00a0mSv), due to the increase in the number of procedures. Technologists, particularly those responsible for preparing and administering the radiopharmaceuticals in PET\/CT, recorded the maximum annual effective dose (3.0\u00a0mSv) and extremity dose (91.3\u00a0mSv) during 2022 and 2023.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncaf150","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,18]],"date-time":"2025-11-18T12:47:21Z","timestamp":1763470041000},"page":"22-29","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Occupational radiation exposure in a nuclear medicine department in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"202","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2645-4847","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William","family":"Jaramillo-Garz\u00f3n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de F\u00edsica M\u00e9dica, Universidad Nacional de Colombia , Bogot\u00e1 ,","place":["Colombia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis Carlos","family":"D\u00edaz-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de F\u00edsica M\u00e9dica, Universidad Nacional de Colombia , Bogot\u00e1 ,","place":["Colombia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref1","author":"United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation","year":"2022"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"112648","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radphyschem.2025.112648","article-title":"Occupational radiation dose assessment of professionals working in a nuclear medicine and PET\/CT centre","volume":"232","author":"Alkhybari","year":"2025","journal-title":"Radiat Physics Chem"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"100564","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jrras.2023.100564","article-title":"Assessment of radiation exposure in a nuclear medicine department of an oncology hospital","volume":"16","author":"Hung","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Radiat Res Appl Sci"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"108529","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radphyschem.2019.108529","article-title":"Assessment of occupational exposure and radiation risks in nuclear medicine departments","volume":"170","author":"Alkhorayef","year":"2020","journal-title":"Radiat Physics Chem"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"233","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radphyschem.2017.02.048","article-title":"Occupational radiation exposure in nuclear medicine department in Kuwait","volume":"140","author":"Alnaaimi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Radiat Phys Chem"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"257","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jrras.2022.03.004","article-title":"Assessment of extremity occupational exposure at a nuclear medicine department","volume":"15","author":"Khouqeer","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Radiat Res Appl Sci"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref7","author":"United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation","year":"2022"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1277","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radmeas.2011.07.019","article-title":"Hand exposure in diagnostic nuclear medicine with 18F- and 99mTc-labelled radiopharmaceuticals\u2014results of the ORAMED project","volume":"46","author":"Carnicer","year":"2011","journal-title":"Radiat Meas"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref9","first-page":"23N","article-title":"Status of nuclear medicine in Latin America and the Caribbean: IAEA analysis of development in the past 6 years","volume":"62","author":"Orellana","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Nucl Med"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref10","first-page":"0717","article-title":"Control de calidad de los equipos PET-CT en Colombia: disponibilidad de protocolos y recursos","volume":"ISSN","author":"Parada","year":"2023","journal-title":"Alasbimn Journal"},{"key":"2026010207212756900_ref11","volume-title":"Organismo Internacional de Energ\u00eda At\u00f3mica, Protecci\u00f3n radiol\u00f3gica ocupacional.
