The history of radiation protection in medicine has progressed through several distinct patterns prompted by observed or suspected biologic effects. The two preceding papers ( 1, 2) focus on what has in the past few years developed into an area of major concern. Radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging equipment dedicated to neuroangiography and progress in the tactile skill of neuroradiologists h...

The IAEA/RCA (Regional Cooperative Agreement) project to strengthen and harmonize radiation protection infrastructures in Asian and Pacific region started in 1988. The number of the RCA member countries is 17 at present. In the early stages of the project, there was little information on the status of radiation protection and their technical abilities of radiation protection measurements in RCA...

Introduction: Dental radiography as one of the most frequent type of radiological examinations is accepted for medical investigations due to their significant benefits nevertheless using ionizing radiation. It has lower radiation dose compared to another radiological examination but because of its high application for children, radiation dose needs attention. Based on affectin...

Introduction: Ionizing radiations are the hazardous agents in the workplace and all forms of ionizing radiation produce some type of injuries. Awareness of application of protection guidelines and knowledge of the principles of radiation protection can play an important role in health of employees. Survey of radiation employee’s levels of awareness and practical behavior is essential and ...

With reference to the technical standards of radiation monitoring professionals in “National Post and Occupational Skills Appraisal Evaluation System”, idea simulation system development integration is adopted build a warehouse environment personal experiment for principle teaching installation operations. Through establishment experiments such as environmental dose measurement, surface polluti...

The aim of this article was to explore the evidence for the revised European Union basic safety standard (BSS) radiation dose limits to the lens of the eye, in the context of medical occupational radiation exposures. Publications in the open literature have been reviewed in order to draw conclusions on the exposure profiles and doses received by medical radiation workers and to bring together t...

introduction quality control techniques used to test the components of the radiological system and verify that the equipment is operating satisfactorily. in this study, quality control (qc) assessment of conventional radiology devices was performed in frequently visited radiology centers of khuzestan province, iran. materials and methods fifteen conventional radiology devices were examined, bas...
