ABSTRACT: The current research aims to assess the staff and patients’ effective doses during Nuclear medicine (NM) bone scans procedures. The administered activity was utilized to quantify the patients’ effective doses, while personnel’s effective doses were quantified using thermoluminescent detectors (TLD-100). The average administered activity was 650 (440 to 1440) MBq procedures using SPECT gamma camera system. The average annual staff effective dose (mSv) was estimated to be 2.3 (0.1 to 4.9). The typical patient’s effective dose was 4.9 (3.6 to 6.0) mSv per procedure. Staff exposure within the yearly effective dose limits. Patients’ exposure optimization is required based on patient weight. Estimating staff eye lens doses is suggested to confirm that the yearly effective radiation doses are within the safety range.
