There has been an increase in positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging procedures, and medical workers involved in PET/CT are at increased risk of occupational exposure. Data on extremity dose exposure are limited globally. The current study aimed to evaluate the occupational radiation dose for extremities for medical workers (nurses, radiographers/radiologic technologists, and nuclear medicine physicians) working in PET/CT scanners at 5 large hospitals in Turkey. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) ring dosimeters were used to measure equivalent dose values. Hospitals 1, 2, and 5 used OSL, and 3 and 4 used TLD. A total of 502 readings were obtained from 55 workers. In millisievert (mSv), the average annual effective dose for all workers was 14.5 ± 17.7 (0.2-157.2). A radiography technologist received a maximum dose of 157.21. Nurses received the highest average annual effective dose (15.2 ± 19.46) (0.32-65.58), followed by radiography technologists (14.7 ± 18.03) (0.4-157.2), and nuclear medicine physicians demonstrated the least dose (8.6 ± 10.5) (1.2-24.4). The results show that the extremity dose is well below the annual dose limit of 500 mSv. However, there is a wide variation in dose among the workers, underlining a need for careful assessment of working conditions to ensure safe practices for all workers.
