Title	Agreement State Report - Fetal Exposure in Excess of 500 Millirem During a Pet/Ct Scan
Event Description	The following information was obtained from the State of Colorado via facsimile: The Department received notification on March 23, 2010, of a fetal exposure in excess of 500 milliRem from a PET/CT Scan. The licensee, PET Imaging of Northern Colorado, License No. 1105-0, is located in Fort Collins, Colorado. The licensee reported that on December 14, 2009, a female patient received 17.4 mCi of F-18 and underwent a PET/CT scan. The patient had indicated that she was not pregnant on her medical history questionnaire and told the technologist she was not pregnant prior to the scan. Later, the patient's physician notified the licensee that the patient was indeed pregnant at the time of the scan. A consulting medical physicist calculated the total dose to the fetus from the PET/CT scan as 2.6 Rem (26 mGy). However, the medical physicist did not report the individual dose from the F-18 component alone, and this information has been requested from the licensee. The licensee's authorized user physician reported that the risk of abnormality for the fetus is considered to be negligible per the guidance from the American College of Radiology Practice Guidelines. No other details are available at this time. * * RETRACTION FROM ED STROUD TO PETE SNYDER AT 1550 ON 4/6/10 * * * The following information was obtained from the State of Colorado via facsimile: Following a full investigation of the incident, the fetal exposure was determined to be below the NRC's reporting requirement of 5 REM. Notified R4DO (Proulx) and FSME EO (VonTill).
