Radiation protection management of radioactive corpse given high dose radioiodine-131 therapy: Muslim perspectives

Javaid Ali, Aakif U. Khan, Aamir U. Khan, Karim Khan.


Abstract
Islam is the next biggest religion after Christianity in the globe. The Muslims are very strict in following the spiritual customs concerning the cadaver of a person. A patient who has received high dose radioiodine-131 therapy may die, while still having considerable radioactivity lingering in his corpse. In such a case, a lot of issues begin from transportation of corpse to radiation protection of public. The purpose of the study is to present ideas for radiation protection management of Muslim radioactive cadaver. These ideas propose ways for health examiners, transportation facilitators, relatives of the deceased, ghusl's (washing corpse) persons or facilitators, imam (religious scholar), autopsy, funeral, and burial of Muslim radioactive cadaver.

Key words: Radiation protection, corpse, radioiodine therapy.
