Beta radiation exposure of medical staff and implications for extremity dose monitoring

Sealed and unsealed beta radiation sources come into use to a greater extent in radiation therapy, e.g. for treating inflammatory joint diseases by radiosynoviorthesis (RSO), by injecting 90Y, 186Re or 169Er-solutions. Sealed 90Sr/90Y and 32P-sources or 188Re-liquid-filled balloon catheter are appli...
