Background: The aim of the study was to analyze the effec ve dose record of occupa onally exposed radia on workers at Bahawalpur Ins tute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology department. Materials and Methods: Annual effec ve doses of occupa onally exposed workers were measured by film badge dosimetry by sending the dosimeters to Radia on Dosimetry Laboratory (RDL), Pakistan Ins tute of Nuclear Science and Technology (PINSTECH), Islamabad, Pakistan. 46 Radia on workers dose records were studied for a period of 14-years (2000-13). Professionally exposed radia on workers were divided into groups depending upon their professions. Results: Average effec ve doses of oncologists, nuclear physicians, medical physicists, radia on technologists, nurses and other suppor ng staff were in the range of 0.64-1.86, 0.61-2.27, 0.63-1.74, 0.67-2.53, 0.65-2.31 and 0.68-1.79 mSv respec vely. The highest annual dose received by radia on technologist was 4.95 mSv. Nobody received the radia on dose greater than 5 mSv in any year and no overexposure case has been no ced throughout the study period. Conclusion: The results revealed that occupa onally exposed individuals received doses lower than the recommended annual limits of 20 mSv y-1. This study provides basis to set up ac on level that is obligatory by Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority, Pakistan.

“…All doses lower than the RL are recorded as zero. The correlation between the worker, the institute, the dosemeters code numbers and the dose is performed with the aid of specially designed software (Kamenopoulou et al, 2000). In accordance with the QA/QC program the raw data that correspond to doses lower than 0.1 mSv are not erased.…”

“…Previously, a large cohort of studies focusing on the assessment of occupational exposed medical worker has been reported from around the globe, including Pakistan [6][7][8][9][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. These studies, in particular those reported from Pakistan, are scattered, discuss/ focus on different dosimetry indices and non-overlapping study periods, all confounding a meaningful analysis and comparison.…”

The imperative use of ionizing radiation in medicine causes the inevitable occupational exposure of the medical workers during the course of routine duties. The magnitude of health risk due to such radiation exposures has been described in terms of occupational radiation doses. In this context, it is obligatory to monitor, measure and document the radiation dose of occupationally exposed medical workers. This study aims to review the whole-body occupational radiation exposures of medical workers in Pakistan. Specifically, online literature published during 2000-2018 was reviewed for the occupational radiation exposures of Pakistani medical workers. Analysis of the extracted personal dosimetry data revealed that the total number of monitored medical occupational workers was 26046. The range of total cumulative and annual average effective doses was 94-15785 Person-mSv and 0.66-7.37 mSv, respectively. A significant number of the workers (25477; ~98%) received an annual dose below 5 mSv, while only 18 workers received an occupational exposure exceeding the annual dose limit of 20 mSv. It is expected that this study will provide a useful reference for evaluating and improving radiation protection and safety policies in the country.
