To investigate the feasibility of radioguided surgery using [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, radiation safety was considered an important topic. Therefore, radiation dose, as received by the operating room staff, was carefully monitored [22 ]. The surgeon (located behind the robotic console), the scrub nurse (located next to the patient in the sterile field), the assisting nurse (moving around the operating room, outside the sterile field), the anesthetist (located at the head of the patient, outside the sterile field), and the researcher (located > 1 m away from the patient, outside the sterile field) all had their own electronic radiation dosimeter (MGPInstruments DMC 2000; Mirion Technologies, Ltd.).

As ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA is not routinely used in the operating room, the radiation exposure to the operating room staff was monitored using electronic personal radiation dosimeters (MGP Instruments DMC 2000; Mirion Technologies, Ltd.). Measurements included the scrub nurse positioned directly next to the patient, the surgeon positioned behind the da Vinci surgical robot at ~ 3 m from the patient, and the anaesthetist, periphery nurse and researcher positioned more than 1 m away from the patient.
