[Surgery in radioactive patients (author's transl)].
The authors discuss some legal aspects and protection problems relative to surgical procedures involving radioactive patients, also in the light of recent European guidelines. They analyse in particular the radiation risk associated with the more common cases concerning radioactive substances that are administered for diagnostic purposes. This study affords a preliminary evaluation of the risk inherent in such surgery, in the light of experimental measurements.
