16 Nuclear Medicine Diagnostic exams that result in images of body anatomy and function. Images based on the detection of energy emitted from a radioactive substance given to the patient, either intravenously or by mouth. pinterest 2017 MFMER slide-16
17 Nuclear Medicine Uses include: Analyze kidney function Image blood flow and function of the heart Scan lungs for respiratory and blood-flow problems Evaluate bones for fracture, infection, arthritis or tumor Determine the presence or spread of cancer Locate the presence of infection Measure thyroid function radiology.ucsf.edu 2017 MFMER slide-17
18 Radiation Oncology - brachytherapy Permanent brachytherapy involves placing radioactive seeds or pellets (about the size of a grain of rice) in or near the tumor and leaving them there permanently. After several weeks or months, the radioactivity level of the implants eventually diminishes to nothing. The seeds then remain in the body, with no lasting effect on the patient MFMER slide-18

25 Regulatory Limitations The Health Physics Society maintains that release of patients poses no discernible risk to the public and provides significant benefits to patients, their families, and society MFMER slide-25
26 Activities and Dose Rates For Patient Release Radionuclide Dose 1m At or Below Which Patient may Be Released (mrem/h) I Y I-125 Implant 1 Note: Y-90 value based on our practice experience Radiation Dose (mrem/h) From 1 Hour Exposure m I Y I-125 Implant NUREG-1556, Vol MFMER slide-26
27 What are the expected exposures? Embalming 1 h at 0.5 m I-131 = 28 mrem Y-90 = 2 mrem I-125 = 4 mrem civilwarundertaker.net 2017 MFMER slide-27
28 What are the expected exposures? whitehouse.archives.gov Viewing: 15 min at 0.5 m + 2 h at 3 m I-131 = 8.6 mrem Y-90 = 0.6 mrem I-125 = 1.2 mrem 2017 MFMER slide-28

31 The dose makes the poison 81 mg/d X 365 d/y = 30 g FDA says death may be expected at 30 g MFMER slide-31
32 Steps to reduce exposure Awareness. Wear appropriate PPE when potential for contact with body fluids or ash. Drain blood during embalming directly into the sanitary sewer system [I-131]. Do not aspirate unless necessary. Drain body fluids directly to sanitary sewer system [I-131]. Maximize distance to the body. Minimize time in close vicinity to body MFMER slide-32
33 What about cremation? There have been instances reported where organs have been removed prior to cremation of decedents containing I-125 seeds and Y-90 microspheres. Is this necessary? 2017 MFMER slide-33
34 Family impact Did the additional burden contribute to further pain or psychological impact? Future research: Survey of impacted families 2017 MFMER slide-34
35 CREMATION OF A BODY WITH A RADIOACTIVE IMPLANT [I-125] informed the NRC Region I office that a patient that was implanted iodine-125 seeds on July 17, 2000, expired on July 23, The estimated activity was 9.8 millicuries. The licensee stated that the family had refused an autopsy and there was no regulatory basis that required the iodine-125 seeds to be removed from the body. However, the licensee informed the funeral home in writing that the body contained radioactive seeds and to use precautions in handling and cremating the body. Additionally, the licensee planned to perform area surveys following the cremation MFMER slide-35
36 CREMATION OF A BODY WITH A RADIOACTIVE IMPLANT [I-125] On July 25, 2000, the licensee informed the NRC Region I that the body was cremated as planned. The licensee performed radiological surveys of the affected areas and the surveys did not indicate any radiation levels above the natural background level. Radiation level of 2 mr/hour was measured in contact with the plastic bag that contained the body remains (ashes). These levels were reduced to background level when the plastic bag was placed in a metal urn. USNRC Morning Report for July 27, MFMER slide-36
37 Y-90 Therasphere Cremation Crematory chambers operate between 1400 to 2400 degrees Glass melts between 2500 and 2900 degrees Effluent to public not an issue 2017 MFMER slide-37
38 Y-90 Therasphere Cremation Risk = Likelihood x Severity Exposure (severity) is minimal Frequency (likelihood) is very low 2/70 cases in last 3 years (<2%) Minimal x infrequent = VERY LOW RISK 2017 MFMER slide-38
39 Conclusions In extreme cases, exposure not likely to exceed public dose limit and never harmful Regulations need to be clarified to appropriately match requirements to actual risk MFMER slide-39
