摘要：
Occupational radiation doses of 602 medical workers from the departments of Radiology, Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Operating room, Nuclear medicine, Radiotherapy and cardiology were evaluated during 2017 to 2021 in three hospitals in Senegal. Each hospital was subdivided into various occupational groups. Whole-body doses Hp(10), local skin doses Hp(0.07) and annual collective dose Hp(10) were measured by OSL (optically stimulated luminescence) dosimetry. The occupational groups with the highest radiation exposures, similar to 0.185 mSv in 1 y, were in the field of nuclear medicine, radiology, cardiology, Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery and Operating room. All results of the measured annual effective dose were below the ICRP (International Commission on Radiological Protection) dose limits of 20 mSv/y, averaged over any 5-y period.
