Radiation biology and radiation protection
Annals of the ICRP, 2012For protection purposes, the biological effects of radiation are separated into stochastic effects (cancer, hereditary effects) presumed to be unicellular in origin, and tissue reactions due to injury in populations of cells. The latter are deterministic effects, renamed ‘tissue reactions’ in the 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on ...

Radiation Protection in Dermatology
Archives of Dermatology, 1957This study was undertaken to determine the amount of radiation to which the dermatologist and his assistants were exposed in an active private practice of dermatology. The study covered a period of several years in order that fluctuations occurring in radiation therapy could be taken into consideration.

Radiation protection principles
Journal of Radiological Protection, 2012The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommends a system of radiological protection that is in use worldwide. This paper describes the elements of that system, identifying the central assumptions and principles. A key assumption for protection at low doses is that there is a simple proportionate relationship between increments

Radiation Protection in Cyclohexane
Radiation Research, 1958Protection of a substance against certain modes of radiolysis by introduction of a low-concentration solute which can interfere with the normal fate of some primary intermediate can be achieved by a variety of mechanisms (1). The system most extensively studied in this connection is cyclohexane + benzene. Reduction of the yield of hydrogen and ethylene

Radiation Safety and Protection
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1988Often overlooked are the consequences of low-level radiation. This article increases awareness of the short- and long-term effects of x-rays on the podiatrist, his staff and patients. Protection can be achieved for all concerned by using the radiographic techniques, low-cost ways for dosage reduction, and monitoring devices discussed.

Radiation protection in medicine
1980Ionizing radiation is a powerful tool in many branches of medicine, both as an aid to diagnosis and a means of therapy (treatment). The most familiar application is the diagnostic X-ray, which is used in a wide variety of examinations, from locating a swallowed marble to a routine examination of the chest. Radiation can induce cancer and yet, curiously,

PRACTICAL RADIATION PROTECTION
Medical Journal of Australia, 1959The possibility of harmful genetic effects from radiation is discussed. The view is expressed that the contribution to gonad exposure from superficial radiotherapy has probably been overstated. The prudence of taking every precaution to reduce dosage is underlined.

Guidelines for radiation protection
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1986Guidelines for radiation protection originate from numerous federal, state, and local agencies. Webster defines a guideline as a line by which one is guided, especially as an outline (as by a government) of policy or conduct. Guidelines in radiation protection can be either mandatory or advisory. Regulations by federal, state, and local governments for

The British Journal of Radiology, 1959
The following are three simple protective devices amongst others which have been introduced into the South Devon and East Cornwall Hospital Group during the last 12 months. They have been found to be effective, and it is thought they may be of interest to other X-ray departments: Modern fluoroscopic units are capable of introducing very insidious ...
