Sažetak
Personal dose monitoring in UHC “Sestre milosrdnice” is regulary performed for about 300 exposed workers involved in a variety of tasks with different sources of ionizing radiation. Exposed workers are required to wear personal dosimeters which are read on monthly basis and dose records are kept in the hospital. In this paper an overview of personal dosimetry data from year 2003 till 2013 is presented. Film dosimeters were used for personal dosimetry untill 2010th when the thermoluminescent (TL) dosimetry was introduced. Dosimeters are calibrated to measure personal dose equivalent Hp(10). Received doses are analyzed for workers in the field of nuclear medicine, radiotherapy (external beam and brachytherapy), general diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology. Analysis of received doses in the whole period resulted with an average individual dose in nuclear medicine of 0, 6 mSv/y, which decreased to 0, 21 mSv/y in the last three years, caused by more precise dosimetric methods with TL dosimetry and improved conditions of radiation protection. In the same three year period, in interventional radiology doses were 0, 32 mSv/y, compared to 0, 29 mSv/y obtained for a previous seven years. This was expected due to the escalation in a number of interventions and new installed equipment. There was no such difference in diagnostic radiology doses, showing that film dosimetry is suitable for x ray energies. Analysis of all the readings showed a significant influence of measurement procedures on personal dosimeter dose and also the importance of continuous monitoring of the dose records in order to improve the conditions of radiation protection and achieving the ALARA goal.
