Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1974
We report a radiation accident in which a technologist was in close proximity for 40 seconds to a source containing 7,700 curies of cobalt 60. The average bone marrow dose was estimated at 118 rads. Within the first 24 hours postexposure, lymphopenia developed and after two weeks, the platelet and granulocyte count began to fall and reached nadir at ...

Radiation Exposure and Pregnancy
MCN: The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing, 2014Radiological exposure from nuclear power reactor accidents, transportation of nuclear waste accidents, industrial accidents, or terrorist activity may be a remote possibility, but it could happen. Nurses must be prepared to evaluate and treat pregnant women and infants who have been exposed to radiation, and to have an understanding of the health ...

Radiation Exposure During Ureteroscopy
Journal of Urology, 1990Use of fluoroscopy during ureteroscopy increases the risk of radiation exposure to the urologist and patient. Radiation entrance dosages were measured at skin level in 37 patients, and at the neck, trunk and finger of the urologist, and neck and trunk of the circulating nurse.

Annals of the ICRP, 2012
Practical implementation of the International Commission on Radiological Protection's (ICRP) system of protection requires the availability of appropriate methods and data. The work of Committee 2 is concerned with the development of reference data and methods for the assessment of internal and external radiation exposure of workers and members of the

The Practitioner, 1990
Many assumptions about the sources of our daily exposure to radiation may be incorrect. Surprisingly, the average dose from nuclear discharge per year is less than that from natural sources, and people who work in the nuclear industry have the same average yearly dose as aircrew.

Evaluation of Radiation Exposures
AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1955E ACH DAY, nurses become aware of radiation hazards ecause of the ever-increasing use of radioactive materials. The health hazard of radiation exposure has been further emphasized by the International Commission of Radiological Protection (1). This commission has defined a maximum permissible radiation exposure of 300 milliroentgens per week.

The radiation exposure controversy
Acta Radiologica, 2011In this issue of Acta Radiologica, Professor Ernest Pauwels from Leyden brings into focus the possible risk of radiation-induced carcinogenesis from diagnostic radiology, with particular emphasis on computed tomography (CT) (1). As a consequence of technologic advances and increasing availability, CT utilization has grown rapidly, obviously because CT ...
