Nominal Hazard Zone in Medical Laser Centers

Authors

Abstract:

Control the laser beam hazards for class IIIB and IV laser is concluded: engineering and executive controls. In executive control, when laser beam enters to the free space, the controlled area must be identified to protect people and control the radiation exposure limits. Given the fact that the laser light of the laser is entering the environment, the identification of the area under control is necessary and the traffic must be controlled in accordance with certain criteria. By limiting the region where the radiation density is greater than the radiation limits, restrictions can be applied in a smaller space. Due to space constraints in such centers, determining the boundaries of the risk zone is appropriate methods. By specifying this area and observing the rules and regulations, it is possible to prevent radiation damage caused by the laser beam and its reflections.

Laser Beam Hazard for flight personnel

Lasers can produce a beam of light of such intensity that permanent damage to human tissue, in particular the retina of the eye, can be caused instantaneously, even at distances of over 10 km. At lower intensities, laser beams can seriously affect visual performance without causing physical damage to the eyes; causing transient damage or causing sensation and loss of focus. Laser illumination o...

Laser and Its Hazard Potential

Laser-induced eye injuries have been reported more and more often in the past years, yet the laser is not a modern invention. Based on stimulated emission, the wavelength, energy dose and pulse duration of the laser are the determining factors for its possible hazard potential. The eye, which is the most vulnerable body part for laser radiation, can be affected. As medical treatment is discusse...

A Green Laser Pointer Hazard

An inexpensive green laser pointer was found to emit 20 mW of infrared radiation during normal use. This is potentially a serious hazard that would not be noticed by most users of such pointers. We find that this infrared emission derives from the design of the pointer, and describe a simple method of testing for infrared emissions using common household items.
