A number of 180 patients were recruited and external exposure was measured. Patients had undergone cardiac stress and rest, bone scan, I-131 therapy, Gallium-67 and FDG PET\/CT imaging. The average dose received due to cardiac stress and rest were 20.4 \u00b1 5.0 and 16.0 \u00b1 3.8 \u03bcSv per patient, respectively, whereas for bone scan, Ga-67, FDG and I-131 therapy, the average dose was 6.1 \u00b1 2.5, 6.0 \u00b1 1.4, 11.1 \u00b1 2.2 and 4.1 \u00b1 2.6 \u03bcSv per patient. The patient-to-staff dose coefficients were on average 0.051 \u00b1 0.009, 0.042 \u00b1 0.010, 0.034 \u00b1 0.016, 0.039 \u00b1 0.021, 0.052 \u00b1 0.012, 0.094 \u00b1 0.021 \u03bcSv m2\/MBq h for stress, rest, bone, I-131, Ga-67 and FDG reported post-administration, respectively. Patient injection and setup for imaging represent a high percentage of the total dose received by staff. The information revealed is able to revise local measures, safety standards, and could help further in dose optimization and minimal exposure to occupationally exposed worker in nuclear medicine laboratories.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncz046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,12]],"date-time":"2019-03-12T20:12:21Z","timestamp":1552421541000},"page":"443-451","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["OCCUPATIONAL RADIATION DOSE TO NUCLEAR MEDICINE STAFF DUE TO TC99M, F18-FDG PET AND THERAPEUTIC I-131 BASED EXAMINATIONS"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"186","author":[{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Fathy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nuclear Medicine, Kasr Al-Ainy Center for Radiation Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt"},{"name":"Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2087-5229","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdy M","family":"Khalil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wael M","family":"Elshemey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haitham S","family":"Mohamed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020040515151733400_ncz046C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-85962-8","volume-title":"Basic Sciences of Nuclear Medicine","author":"Khalil","year":"2011","edition":"first edn"},{"key":"2020040515151733400_ncz046C2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-40070-9","volume-title":"Basic Science of PET Imaging","author":"Khalil","year":"2017"},{"key":"2020040515151733400_ncz046C3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2511081686","article-title":"Risks associated with low doses and low dose rates of ionizing radiation: why linearity may be (almost) the best we can do","volume":"251","author":"Little","year":"2009","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"2020040515151733400_ncz046C4","author":"Ahmed","year":"2014"},{"issue":"supplement 1","key":"2020040515151733400_ncz046C5","first-page":"2077","article-title":"Patient release criteria of FDG PET\/CT scanning: a local institutional derived limits","volume":"55","author":"Alanezi","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
