Title	Agreement State Report - Medical Exposure Read as Occupational Exposure
Event Description	The following report was received via e-mail: On Wednesday, November 14, [the University of Miami Radiation Safety Officer (RSO)] received an Occupational Exposure Report from Mirion Technologies indicating that for wear dates July 1 through July 31, 2018, x-ray technologist [redacted] received the following doses: Deep: 8328 mR, Eye: 8328 mR, and Shallow: 8328 mR. Upon interviewing Mr. [redacted], in the presence of his supervisor, Mr. [redacted] indicated that he had a therapeutic Nuclear Medicine procedure for hyperthyroidism during the month of July in one of our facilities. Upon review of his medical records it was confirmed that Mr. [redacted] received 24 microCuries of iodine-131 for an uptake scan on July 10, 2018, and a therapeutic dose of 28.9 mCi of iodine-131 on July 17, 2018. It was noted that Mr. [redacted] wears his dosimeter high on the collar of his scrubs, very close to the area overlying his thyroid and continued to wear it throughout the period in question. Based on this information it is [the RSO's] professional judgement that this dose does not constitute an Occupational Dose but is rather a medical dose, and he will be requesting that his dosimetry provider remove it from Mr. [redacted] Occupational [dose].
