Sponsor's own description

The radiopharmaceuticals manipulation used in nuclear medicine department is a significant source of radiation for operators. According to Article R. 4451-13 of the Labor Code, the exposure limit for hands and skin (average dose over a surface of 1 cm²) received during twelve consecutive months can't exceed the annual dose limit 500 millisieverts (mSv). The radiopharmaceuticals manipulation exposes operators to the risk of exceeding this limit, as has been shown in a European study. At present, there are automatons on the market but only for radiopharmaceutical fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). One of the advantages of such an automaton is to reduce irradiation of operators' hands during the radiopharmaceuticals preparation. This reduction can reach 95% according to certain authors and the type of automaton. This study therefore proposes to evaluate the effect of an original, newly designed automaton on operators' dosimetry and the labelled radiopharmaceuticals' quality. The hypothesis emitted in this study is that the use of this automaton would allow to reduce drastically operators' hands exposure and probably also to improve the precision of the prepared syringes. This study will be done in a paired way, require a randomization in cross-over and each of the subjects included will be its own witness.
