Zusammenfassung:Methods This was an analysis of radiation exposure in nuclear laboratories submitted to the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for SPECT and/or PET accreditation. Estimate of study radiation exposure was calculated from reported radioisotope amount and utilized the 2014 International Commission on Radiological Protection Compendium to convert doses to an effective dose in milliSievert (mSv).
