Vet Radiology and Nuclear Medicine ALARA levels

[Lorna Hubble <ljb1@CORNELL.EDU>]

Hi!



We've been looking into doses that individuals associated with the vet 

radiology and vet nuclear medicine programs receive somewhat 

routinely.  Although theses doses are well below the regulatory limits, 

they do sometimes approach and slightly exceed our University ALARA 

investigation levels.  Our ALARA investigation levels are set for the 

entire campus, thus the same level is used for these groups as for the 

people using radioactive material in a research lab.  We are wondering what 

levels other institutions are using for individuals associated with these 

types of programs and if those levels are the same for individuals doing 

routine research type tasks in labs.  Any input would be greatly 

appreciated.  Please respond back to me directly, unless you feel that the 

rest of the group would be interested.  Thanks!



Lorna
