Well, we do happen to have a file full of studies on exposure rates near
patients - I don't remember off hand if any of them focus on PET studies,
but I'll bet that some of them include some PET studies.   I know that the
folks at UT Knoxville did a nice study at their place on exposure rates near
patients in PET studies, oh, some 6-8 years ago, maybe.  Write me at work
(stabinm@orau.gov) and I'll send you what we have.
