Download or read book Structural Shielding Design for Medical X ray Imaging Facilities written by National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements and published by NCRP. This book was released on 2004 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements...is concerned with structural shielding design and evaluation for medical installations utilizing x rays and gamma rays of energies up to 10 MeV. The report contains recommendations and technical information as well as a discussion of the various factors which must be considered in the selection of appropriate shielding materiels and in the calculation of the barrier thickness. Recent [this publication 1976] availability of new data used to calculate the shielding requirements has resulted in revision of some of the shielding requirement tables set out in Appendix C. Specific values of the parameters used in the formulation of the tables are explicitly given. The calculational procedures are presented in such a manner as to facilitate their use in deriving customized shielding requirements not to be found in the tables. An adjunct to the report presenting full sized reproductions of the curves for barrier requirements is also an innovation for the NCRP." --From the Preface, page iii.

Download or read book Radiation Protection in Nuclear Medicine written by Sören Mattsson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains clearly and in detail all aspects of radiation protection in nuclear medicine, including measurement quantities and units, detectors and dosimeters, and radiation biology. Discussion of radiation doses to patients and to embryos, fetuses, and children forms a central part of the book. Phantom models, biokinetic models, calculations, and software solutions are all considered, and a further chapter is devoted to quality assurance and reference levels. Occupational exposure also receives detailed attention. Exposure resulting from the production, labeling, and injection of radiopharmaceuticals and from contact with patients is discussed and shielding calculations are explained. The book closes by considering exposure of the public and summarizing the "rules of thumb" for radiation protection in nuclear medicine. This is an ideal textbook for students and a ready source of useful information for nuclear medicine specialists and medical physics experts.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report is a position statement of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) on issues that have emerged as a result of the 'recent' (1972) publication of reports by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation and the National Academy of Sciences Advisory Committee on the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiations treating the estimation of the risks arising from exposure to ionizing radiation. Although these 'recently' published materials have essentially reached the same numerical results for radiation levels at which observations are available, there have been differences in philosophy and divergent conclusions regarding the estimation of the risk associated with low-level, low dose rate radiation, for which little or no data are available. Further, and perhaps more importantly, widely varying interpretations of the significance and meaning of these reports and conclusions have been formulated. In an endeavor to consider carefully the implications of the various 'new' recommendations in relation to 'current' NCRP radiation protection philosophy, the Board of Directors of the Council determined to undertake an intensive analysis of the published materials and the underlying background. To initiate this work, the NCRP constituted the Ad Hoc Committee on Comparison of Radiation Protection Philosophies. The Committee developed background material for consideration of this topic by the Board of Directors of the Council. The Board determined that a formulation of the NCRP's position would constitute an important contribution and, utilizing the material developed by the Ad Hoc Committee, together with review by the Council, produced this report." --From Preface, page iii.
