Read the information describing some of the operating procedures used in three medical imaging departments. For each department a) explain the nature and assess the severity of the hazards to patients and staff (AC 5.2) b) explain how the procedures reduce the hazardous effect (AC 5.3) c) explain the circumstances where each method of imaging might be used in preference to ultrasound, which has relatively low probability of harming the patient. (AC5.1) Your answers should show your understanding of the physics principles underlying the hazards and the control measures taken.

Question
Scenario 3: X ray imaging department All diagnostic examinations involving medical exposures are performed with the radiation dose to the patient being as low as reasonably practicable to achieve the required quality of image. All operating personnel must withdraw from the treatment area when the X-ray tube is in operation. Personal dosimeters (film badge) should be worn on the front of the body, in the area of the main torso, anywhere from waist to neck. Individuals who wear lead garments should position the whole body dosimeter at collar level, outside of any lead protection. When not wearing the dosimeter, it should be stored in an area away from any radiation sources. Do not lend your dosimeter to another person, and do not wear another person's dosimeter. Personal dosimeters must be submitted for analysis every 3 months. ● ● ● ● ● ● If your dosimeter is damaged or lost, promptly contact the badge coordinator or the Radiation Safety Office. Personnel must inform the Radiation Safety Office if they become pregnant or are intending to become pregnant.
