This book was released on 1970 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...this report is concerned with both the design and operational aspects of veterinary radiation equipment, and matters relating to sructural shielding design. While much of this material is already contained in Reports 33 and 34, this report presents the pertinent information which is applicable to the veterinary use of radiation. The NCRP believes that it is important for each radiation user in veterinary practice to be thoroughly familiar with the pertinent recommendations. If these remained embedded in the more comprehensive recommendations covering the whole radiation field, the availability of the information and the usefulness to the veterniarian would be somewhat limited. This report is intended to serve as a guide to good practice. It provides basic standards which may be used in the preparation of regulatory protection codes but is not specifically written for literal adoption as legal regulations..." --From Preface, pages iii-iv.

This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Safety Report provides guidance on the safe use of radiation for imaging and treatment in veterinary medicine with the objective of ensuring the safety and radiation protection of workers and members of the public. The publication addresses occupational exposure and public exposure in the use of radiation in veterinary medicine and safety issues that should be considered in order to be compliant with the International Basic Safety Standards (IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GSR Part 3). Consideration is given to the topics of source security and emergency response that might arise with the use of radioactive material in veterinary medicine. Although primarily intended for regulators and workers in veterinary medicine, the publication will also be relevant for professional bodies, ethics committees, and suppliers of equipment and software.

Book excerpt: This code is concerned with the protection of all individuals who may be exposed to radiation emitted by x-ray equipment used in the practice of veterinary radiology. The code sets out the relative responsibilities of the owner, responsible user, operator, and other personnel involved with the equipment; provides information for designing shielding and determining its effectiveness & adequacy in attenuating primary & stray radiation; and presents recommendations for minimizing irradiation to the operators & ensuring that veterinary X-ray equipment is used in a safe manner.

Download or read book Radiation Safety and Positioning Animals with Rope and Tape in Veterinary Radiography written by Matt Wright and published by . This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We get dozens of emails from technicians and practice owners about problems in their radiology department. Many of these problems are related to technician concerns about radiation safety, worries about exposure badge readings, increased exposure from unnecessary retakes, increased exposure from digital radiography, worries about pregnant employees, and technicians who just don't want to hand hold animals during radiography. This book addresses ALL of these issues and will help you take control of all radiology related issues in your practice. Every practice should have a book like this as part of their radiation safety training for new employees. This book is written in the most basic terms and even makes the painfully boring topic of radiation safety and entertaining an educational experience for the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Pageburst digital textbook; the product description may vary from the print textbook. User-friendly and comprehensive, this essential resource covers all aspects of canine, feline, and equine diagnostic radiology and interpretation. It features relevant coverage of the physics of radiology, CT, and MRI, as well as valuable information on patient positioning and management, radiographic technique and safety measures, normal and abnormal anatomy, radiographic viewing and interpretation, and alternative imaging modalities. This edition features more than 500 additional images, a new chapter on the principles of digital imaging, and expanded coverage of brain and spinal cord imaging. Features comprehensive, logically organized coverage of the latest advances in imaging techniques and interpretation for the dog, cat, and horse. A body systems approach presents information in a logical progression, covering skeletal versus soft tissue structures, normal anatomy, general radiographic changes, and the most common abnormalities affecting each particular system. Discussion of the physics of radiology, CT, and MRI offers a better understanding of the radiographic process. An atlas of normal radiographic anatomy of the dog and horse offers a basis for comparison to assist in recognizing abnormal findings. Information on radiation safety highlights safety measures associated with ionizing radiation. A self-assessment section at the end of each chapter evaluates understanding of key concepts and clinical applications. High-quality radiographic images, illustrations, tables, and charts throughout clarify important concepts and interpretative principles. A new chapter on Digital Images and Digital Radiographic Image Capture (Chapter 2). Updated and expanded coverage of brain and spinal cord imaging, including CT and MRI. More than 500 additional radiographic images that clarify key concepts.
Download or read book Evaluating the Knowledge Attitudes and Behaviours Toward Radiation Safety in the Veterinary Field and the Potential Impact of the Veterinary Curriculum on Modifying Current Practices written by Monica Jensen and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiographs are a commonly used diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine that require radiation in their acquisition. Veterinary patients require some form of restraint (i.e. manual and/or chemical) to ensure the patient remains in an appropriate position for a diagnostic study. If manual restraint is employed, veterinary staff may be exposed to radiation, which is known to have detrimental effects to human health at high doses. It is also recognized that most veterinary students obtain experience in veterinary practices and may also be involved in making radiographs prior to veterinary school. The objectives of this study were to 1) describe the current methods used, knowledge level, and attitudes toward radiation safety held by veterinary staff in Ontario, and 2) to describe the experiences obtained, knowledge level, and attitudes regarding radiation safety held by the veterinary students at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) at various timepoints. The study was performed in three sections. First, a questionnaire was offered to all veterinary staff working in veterinary clinics in Ontario. Second, a first-year veterinary class was surveyed before and after a one-hour radiation safety training lecture in their first year. Finally, a third-year veterinary class was surveyed in the final semester of their third year, after their 8-week externship rotation in their fourth year, and after their 2-week Diagnostic Imaging (DI) rotation in their fourth year. Questionnaire responses from all three groups indicated that manual restraint was the most commonly used restraint method, that lead gloves and lead glasses were infrequently worn items of personal protective equipment, radiation safety training was rarely administered, and dosimeter use was lacking in general practice. Lecture-based radiation safety training was shown to improve some cognitive skills and impact attitudes toward feelings of safety when working with radiation in the first-year student population. Clinical training received during the fourth-year DI rotation was shown to improve attitudes toward radiation safety and feeling protected when making radiographs. The content of radiation safety training at the OVC is lacking in some areas, such as where to stand when a radiograph is made.
