Abstract | Presently, public members are exposed to sources of ionizing radiation, and health risks due to radiation exposures should be a concern. This study aims to calculate the whole-body cumulative radiation exposure of taxi drivers. Also, this study will provide the effect of using a simple lead shield and three types of glass shield AVT6, TZN-D, and SLGC-E5, by calculating the effective annual dose of the taxi drivers that work in medical centers. Two MIRD phantoms as a driver and patient, a sample body of a taxi, pure lead, and glass sheets as a shield, were simulated using the MCNP code. We assumed that the patients had undergone the brain, liver, and kidney SPECT imaging by injecting 99mTC-HMPAO, 99mTC-sulfur colloid, and 99mTC-DMSA with the activity of 740MBq, 185MBq, and 333MBq, respectively. These shields are simulated on two sides of the driver, in the back and right side. The annual effective dose was calculated for 0-3.5 g/cm |
