Objective To investigate the current situation of radiation protection in nuclear medicine diagnosis workplace.Methods The study was performed in 3 hospitals in northeast,north and central of China from February to December in 2013.The γ dose rate instrument was used to detect the workplace ambient dose equivalent rate of medicine preparation,leaching,packing,injection and imaging.Individual effective dose and equivalent dose were evaluated by photoluminescent dosimeter.Results The ambient dose equivalent rate was up to 1.92 mSv/h at repacking place and 1.2 mSv/h at injection place.The ambient dose equivalent rate of patients after injection was 5.36-240 μ,Sv/h.The hand equivalent dose was 0.01-0.02 mGy.Moreover,there were problems of staff route intersection,as well as the patients after injection staying in the public area.Conclusions Radiation workers should pay more attention to individual protection,and improve the operation proficiency to shorten the operation time.Furthermore,in order to protect public from unnecessary irradiation,there should be some changes in staff route and patients administration.

Objective To use Monte Carlo method to build a shielding calculation model for the proton and heavy ion treatment room,and to provide a reliable calculation method for shielding design.Methods A Monte Carlo-based FLUKA code was adopted to build the shielding calculation model for the proton and heavy ion treatment room,and to simulate the radiation field distribution in the proton and heavy ion treatment room.The calculation model was verified through the radiation detection around the proton and heavy ions treatment room.Results The FLUKA code-based simulation results were consistent with the radiation detection.Conclusions The shielding calculation model based on FLUKA code can simulate the radiation field from proton and heavy ions.Among the secondary particles,secondary neutrons are the dominant component and the main concern of accelerator shielding design.In shielding calculation,the emphasis should be put on both beam intensity and energy.

Objective To establish a simple and convenient method and study the feasibility of using gold nanoparticle composites (ssDNA-AuNPs) for colorimetric detection of gamma radiation.Methods The composites ssDNA-AuNPs were prepared by applying the ssDNA to the surface of AuNPs,and then were irradiated with gamma ray with absorbed doses of 0,5,10,20,and 30 Gy,respectively.Subsequently the color change in the solutions were observed simultaneously with absorption spectra being measured.The linear relationship between the ratio of A625/A521 in the absorption spectrum and the absorbed dose was established.Results With the increase of radiation dose,the color of the solutions changed from wine-red to blue-violet gradually,the ratio of A625/A521 in absorption spectra had excellent liner response for absorbed dose ranging from 0 to 30 Gy,and the linear equation was A625/A521 =0.020 6 + 0.303 6 E(R2 =0.991 5).Conclusions The ssDNA-AuNPs synthesized in this experiment can be successfully used for colorimetric detection of gamma absorbed dose,and a simple and convenient method for detection of gamma radiation has been newly established.
