Radiation Safety in MG Laboratory
Every clinical staff that involve in radiographic procedures will be wearing radiation dosimetry badges especially radiographer. In radiography, medical dosimetry is the measurement of absorbed dosage and the optimization of dose administration. The radiation emitted by the sources is usually defined by depth dose curves and dose profiles assessed by a medical physicist in order to plan the delivery of radiation therapy. Calculations are made to translate the physical quantity absorbed dose into equivalent and effective doses, the details of which depend on the radiation type and biological context, in order to evaluate stochastic health risk. ALARA. As Long As Reasonably Achievable. ALARA is the radiation safety guiding principle. ALARA is an acronym that stands for "as low as reasonably achievable." This principle states that even if the dose is tiny, you should try to avoid it if it offers no immediate benefit. To do so, you can utilize three essential radiation safe...
