This report, which was developed under the auspices of Program Area Committee 4 of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, examines radiation protection in medicine. It supersedes NCRP Report No. 37, Precautions in the Management of Patients Who Have Received Therapeutic Amounts of Radionuclides, issued in 1970. It provides guidance for physicians, medical and health physicists, nuclear pharmacists, health care professionals, and visitors to medical facilities. It confirms the recommendations of the NCRP Commentary No. 11, on Dose Limits for Individuals Who Receive Exposure from Radionuclide Therapy Patients, and other publications. The report discusses the basic principles of radiopharmaceutical therapy and brachytherapy, safety principles, including patient-release instructions, facility design for nuclear-medicine and radiation-oncology installations, and changes in patient status.
