MEDICAL EVENT - PATIENT RECEIVED DOSE GREATER THAN PRESCRIBED
In preparation for lymphoscintigraphy, a patient was injected with 2.4 mCi of unfiltered technetium sulfur colloid (Tc-99) instead of the prescribed dose of 0.5 to 1.0 mCi.
The Radiation Safety Officer and Hospital Medical Physicist were notified. The patient's primary physician was also notified. No adverse effects to the patient are expected.
This event was caused by the administering technologist's failure to double check the dose given to the patient. The technologist has been counseled.
