Structural Shielding Design for Medical X-ray Imaging Facilities
Author: National Council on Radiation Protection and MeasurementsPublisher: NCRP
ISBN: 0929600835
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Report No. 147 (2004) presents recommendations and technical information related to the design and installation of structural shielding for facilities that use x rays for medical imaging. The purpose of structural shielding is to limit radiation exposure to employees and members of the public. The information supersedes the recommendations that address such facilities in NCRP Report No. 49, Structural Shielding Design and Evaluation for Medical Use of X Rays and Gamma Rays of Energies Up to 10 MeV, which was issued in September 1976. NCRP Report No. 147 includes a discussion of the various factors to be considered in the selection of appropriate shielding materials and in the calculation of barrier thicknesses. The Report presents the fundamentals of radiation shielding, discusses shielding design goals for controlled and uncontrolled areas in or near x-ray imaging facilities and defines the relationship of these goals to the NCRP effective dose limits for radiation workers and members of the public. The Report includes a detailed discussion of the recommended shielding design methodology for x-ray imaging facilities and provides an extensive collection of shielding data and sample shielding calculations for various types of x-ray imaging facilities. The Report is mainly intended for those individuals who specialize in radiation protection. However, it will also be of interest to architects, hospital administrators and related professionals concerned with the planning of new facilities that use x rays for medical imaging.

Book Description
his book on radiation protection provides clear coverage of essential concepts, plus the latest technology and new recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. A clear presentation of introductory concepts and essential physics explains the nature and scope of radiation protection; and a discussion of the bioeffects of radiation provides rationale for today's protection concerns. Coverage includes: principles and objectives of radiation protection; a system of dose limitations; dose limits; radiation dosimetry; protection surveys; expressions of patient dose; factors influencing radiation dose in imaging; dose reduction techniques; and quality assurance. Safety issues are emphasized, as well as recommendations for the prudent use of magnetic resonance imaging

Radiation Protection In The Health Sciences (With Problem Solutions Manual) (2nd Edition)
Author: Marilyn E NozPublisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9813101598
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
This book takes a very practical approach to radiation protection and presents very readable information for anyone working in the radiation field or with radioactive material. Offering information rarely found elsewhere, the authors describe in detail both the basic principles and practical implementation recommendations of radiation protection. Each chapter includes self-assessment review questions and problems, with answers provided, to help readers master important information. Coupled with a teacher's manual, this book is highly suitable as an undergraduate text for students preparing for careers as X-ray, radiation oncology, or nuclear medicine technologists. It can also be used as a reference for residents in radiology and radiation oncology, medical personnel, or anyone working with radioactive materials such as those involved in homeland security/emergency services, or employed at a nuclear power plant.
