Evaluation 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 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...
متن کاملInstruction concerning Risks from Occupational Radiation Exposure
This instructional material is intended to provide the user with the best available information concerning what is currently known about the health risks from exposure to ionizing radiation. A question and answer format has been used. The questions were developed by the NRC staff in consultation with workers, union representatives, and licensee representatives experienced in radiation protectio...
متن کاملBiological indicators of occupational radiation exposure
The report presents results on finding appropriate biomarkers applicable in molecular epidemiological surveys of occupationally exposed individuals and/or population to study low dose effects. Blood samples were collected from the “strict regimen” area personnel (exposed) and the administrative staff (controls) of NPP-Kozlodui. Two levels of evaluation were used: molecular spontaneous and induc...
