Radiation Monitoring
• Radiation Badges
• Whole Body badges
• Extremity badges
Radiation Exposure Reduction
– Occupational Dose
Time – minimize the
Distance – maximize
your distance from the
source of radiation
duration of your exposure
Shielding – use
appropriate shielding
Dose Reduction A.L.A.R.A.
• As Low As Reasonably Achievable.
• Limits are the maximums allowable
• Reduce radiation exposure as much as
possible
– Improvement/efficiency of procedures and
techniques
– Better Shielding
