| Dear colleagues,
Thank you for your previous interest in the onlineĀ webinars organized by theĀ IAEA Radiation Protection of Patients UnitĀ (RPOP).
We would like toĀ invite you to join us for our next webinar, which will beĀ held onlineĀ on Wednesday, 8thĀ June 2022, at 2pm CEST (Vienna time)Ā in English.
The webinar will review DRL concept as applied to nuclear medicine. The role of international recommendations, national and local DRLs will be discussed, as well as the appropriate quantities to be used in nuclear medicine, including multi-modality imaging studies. For the nuclear medicine component of the study, DRLs are set up to monitor and assess the radiopharmaceutical dose administered to patient. In the nuclear medicine facility, the administered activity should be verified by means of an activity meter, calibrated at appropriate intervals. The role of radionuclide activity meters in radiation protection of patient will be discussed, starting with a recap of the principles of operation up to a critical analysis of the modality to obtain a calibration traceable to the international standards of the unit for activity. We look forward to seeing you.
