Dr Seokwon Yoon (KRISS, Korea)27/03/2023, 14:40Radionuclide metrology in life sciencesPoster
Effective doses for occupational exposure of workers are estimated as internal and external doses. To properly manage protection for workers, internal contamination and exposure must be well controlled. Radiation workers may be exposed to radioactive materials in their work environment, so exposure must be continuously monitored. In Korea, thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are designated as...

Calibration of detector systems, traceable to the International System of Units (SI), is at the heart of any reliable measurement. For Nuclear Medicine applications, the knowledge of the amount of substance available in diagnostic or therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals can have a direct effect on patient outcomes. The National Research Council (NRC) of Canada is Canada’s National Metrological...

Ms Emma Bendall (National Physical Laboratory, United Kingdom)27/03/2023, 14:45Radionuclide metrology in life sciencesPoster
To assess the measurement capabilities of UK hospitals for commonly used radionuclides, and to identify any key areas of improvement, data has been collected during the routine calibration of hospital radionuclide calibrators. The calibration service operated by the NPL involves hospitals measuring a radioactive source in their calibrator before shipping it to the NPL for standardisation. The...

Dr Andrew J. Fenwick (National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, United Kingdom)27/03/2023, 14:48Radionuclide metrology in life sciencesPoster
The provision and dissemination of radioactivity standards within the UK is largely dependent on the suite of ionisation chambers maintained at the NPL. These chambers are vital for underpinning work in the medical, industrial, low level and nuclear data fields. The NPL provides ongoing support for the commercially available secondary standard radionuclide calibrator (SSRC), currently marketed...

Mr Kirill Skovorodko (Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC), Lithuania)27/03/2023, 14:50Radionuclide metrology in life sciencesPoster
The variety of radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine and amount of procedures are constantly growing. The activity of radiopharmaceuticals, which are administered for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, strongly depends on the accuracy of the measuring equipment. According to international recommendations the dosimetry instrumentation should be traceable to a Secondary Standards...

Ms Christine M.B. Keevers (ANSTO, Australia)27/03/2023, 14:53Radionuclide metrology in life sciencesPoster
The Radionuclide Metrology (RM) group at ANSTO maintains the Primary Standard for Activity of Radionuclides for Australia. To support measurement accuracy in nuclear medicine, RM develops primary standards for radioisotopes significant for their role in patient imaging and treatment. In particular, Tc-99m, I-131 and Lu-177, which are produced using the Open Pool Australian Lightwater (OPAL)...
