Long-term biological effects after acute I-administration of two rat models (with and without thyroid).

Purpose: Radioiodine-131 (RAI or iodine-131) is one of the most frequently used radionuclides for diagnosis and therapy of thyroid diseases (90% of all therapies in nuclear medicine). In order to optimize the patient protection, it is important to evaluate the long-term biological effects of RAI therapy on non-target organs.

Materials And Methods: An experimental animal model has been adopted, it consists on miming RAI therapy.

PERFORMANCE TESTING OF EYE LENS DOSEMETER AND EVALUATION OF PERSONAL RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSITION AT DOUERA ORTHOPEDIC INTERVENTIONAL SERVICE.

The radiological monitoring of the eye in the workplace depends on the type of dosemeter used and its performance. The dosimetric performances of Nuclear Research Center of Algiers (CRNA) developed eye lens dosemeter (Larabi-Harfouche et al. Characterization and qualification of a CRNA eye dosemeter.

Experimental determination and simulation of neutron and gamma flux parameters in horizontal channel for Prompt Gamma Neutron activation analysis implementation at Es-Salam research reactor.

Since 2004, the k-standardization method has been applied and evaluated in three experimental channels at Es-Salam research reactor of the Algerian Centre de Recherche Nucléaire de Birine (CRNB). The NAA laboratory at CRNB is well involved in the implementation of the Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis to extend the field of analyses to some additional elements to the NAA method. In the frame work of the PGNAA research project, several works have been carried out in the present study including the experimental and simulation characterization of neutron and gamma flux parameters of the horizontal channel.

Biokinetics and dose assessment after iodine intake in a thyroidectomised rat model.

Procedures using iodine-131 represent more than 90% of all therapies in nuclear medicine in Algeria. It is important to evaluate the long-term biological effects of iodine treatment on non-target organs to improve patient radiation protection. This experimental radiotoxicology study aims to determine the biokinetic models of iodine contamination.

Effect of background and transport dose on the results of the personal dose equivalent Hp(10) measurements in photon fields obtained during the intercomparison 2013 of the African region.

As part of the intercomparison on the measurement of personal dose equivalent Hp(10), jointly organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Algerian Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory, for the African region, up to 12 dosemeters were added to the packages of the 28 participants to evaluate the background and transport dose (BGTD), received by the dosemeters before and after their irradiation at the SSDL (environmental irradiations, scanning process at the airports, etc.). Out of the 28 participants, only 17 reported the corresponding BGTD measured values, which lied between 0.
