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.
