Occupational Radiation Protection: Protecting Workers against Exposure to Ionizing Radiation
The 1984 International Labour Conference Resolution concerning the improvement of the working conditions and the environment laid down the fundamental objectives and principles on which the Infocus Programme on Safety and Health and the Environment (SafeWork) of the International Labour Organization (ILO) is based. The protection of the worker against ionizing radiations falls naturally within ...
متن کاملOccupational exposure of medical radiation workers in Lithuania, 1950-2003.
This study presents the summary of historical exposures, measurement practice and evolution of the recording of the individual doses of medical radiation workers during 1950-2003 in Lithuania. The aim of this study is to present occupational exposure of medical radiation workers in Lithuania since the earliest appearance period. Data from publications have been used for the earliest two periods...
متن کاملEvaluation of Radiation Exposure Pattern and Radiation Absorbed Dose Resulting from Occupational Exposure of Anesthesiologists to Ionizing Radiation
Introduction: Little information is available concerning the radiation exposure of anesthesiologists, and no such data have previously been collected in Iran. This prospective study was performed to determine the amount of radiation exposure of anesthesiologists for the purpose of assessing whether or not dangerous levels of radiation exposures were being reached, and to identify factors that c...
متن کاملRadiation Protection in Medical Imaging
The radiation spectrum includes forms of radiation that carry various energy levels. Radiation forms, such as x-radiation, which carry sufficient energy to overcome binding energies of electrons and to eject them from their atomic orbits, can cause the formation of ions in the matter through which they travel, and are termed ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation may also dissociate molecular b...
متن کاملOccupational radiation exposure to the surgeon.
Increased use of intraoperative fluoroscopy exposes the surgeon to significant amounts of radiation. The average yearly exposure of the public to ionizing radiation is 360 millirems (mrem), of which 300 mrem is from background radiation and 60 mrem from diagnostic radiographs. A chest radiograph exposes the patient to approximately 25 mrem and a hip radiograph to 500 mrem. A regular C-arm expos...
