Steven,

Regarding exposure rates from patients after nuclear medicine
procedures, I know of two references that may be helpful to you.

One is NCRP Report 105, pg. 64, which contains a table of typical
dose equivalent rates from adult patients.

The other is an article by Frank P. Castronovo, Jr., "A Mathematical
Method for Determining Radiation Exposures Surrounding Technetium-99m
MDP Patients". The article was published in the Journal of Nuclear
Medicine Technology 21(4):224-230, December 1993. 

Empirical data would be best, but these might help.
