Radiation exposure safety is the process of preventing or minimizing exposure to radiation, and tracking what does occur.
Badges used to measure exposure to ionizing radiation are usually called radiation dosimeter badges.
While radiation symptoms can occur from a single, prolonged, exposure, the symptoms of radiation are not contagious.
The exposure to nuclear radiation has many risks associated with it. Cancer, DNA mutations, and radiation poisoning can all occur with any level of radiation exposure.
The obvious hazard is to control your exposure to radiation- use the shields, use protective vests, etc, and to monitor your exposure to radiation (wear your film badge)- HOWEVER- there are other hazards that should not be overlooked. X Ray equipment operates at high voltages- electrical systems should be in good repair- prior to opening any electrical components, procedures for lockout/tagout must be followed. You have an exposure to strains/sprains in attempting to move or position patients, and well as slips and falls from liquids, body fluids, etc. You may have a BIOHAZARD exposure with patients, hypodermic needles, etc. You may have an exposure to chemical hazards from film developing machinery, and an exposure to assault from patients- trauma cases may involve intoxicated persons, patients in great pain, etc.
Yes. Depending on the length of the exposure, radiation can sicken or kill any human.
repeated exposures to both high-energy radiation and high levels of fallout exposure to high levels of fallout a single exposure to high-energy radiation
Radiation sickness varies depending upon duration of exposure, whether it was an internal or external exposure, and the dosage of radiation.
Pregnant patients should not undergo an EP study because of exposure to radiation during the study, which may be harmful to the growing baby
