Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference between the dominant hand and the non-dominant hand when measuring had radiation exposure levels in Nuclear Medicine technologists and students using a TLD ring badge.

Detailed description of study

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference between the dominant hand and the non-dominant hand when measuring had radiation exposure levels in Nuclear Medicine technologists and students using a TLD ring badge.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: healthy
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in radiation exposure levels between the dominant hand and the non-dominant hand in Nuclear Medicine technologists and students. Radiation exposure is measured using a TLD ring badge, which is a device worn on the finger to monitor exposure to radiation over time.

Participants in the study will wear TLD ring badges on both hands while performing their regular duties. The badges will record the amount of radiation each hand is exposed to, allowing researchers to compare the exposure levels between the dominant and non-dominant hands.

  • Who can participate: Eligible participants are Nuclear Medicine technologists and students actively working in environments with radiation exposure.
  • Study details: Participants will be required to wear a TLD ring badge on each hand during their work activities. These badges will measure radiation exposure levels for comparison.
