Abstract
Radioembolizing the yttrium-90 (Y-90) microsphere is a way of treating liver malignance from about five years ago.The measurement of radiation doses that the professionals receive is critical since irradiation in such operations is not consistent, and the received radiation doses could be significant.The employment of a lead-lined blanket to cover the patient’s belly in order to limit the amount of bremsstrahlung radiation released by Y-90 patients is one of the techniques used to reduce the emission.The interventional radiologist also employed a rod-type puncture site compressor for haemostasis to avoid direct contact with any residual radiation at the puncture site. The lack of dependable dosimetry methods for dose prediction and dosage verification is one of the primary difficulties. Interventional radiologists at a puncture site that presses for haemostasis because of the close presence of the radiologist with the patients receiving the radiation treatment with Y-90 have concerns about the occupational radiation dose of the physician caregiver. Radiation exposure to the Radiology team managing and administering these types of therapy has received very little attention
