Radiation-Protection Survey Guide: Fixed Radiographic Unit.

Abstract

Prior to routine use, all newly installed x-ray machines must have a radiation-protection survey by a qualified expert. The survey is an evaluation of existing or potential radiation hazards associated with the use of diagnostic x-ray equipment under specific conditions. Such evaluation includes the measurement of exposure levels in the environment as well as environmental levels arising from operation of the equipment. The survey also includes an evaluation of the safety characteristics of the x-ray unit. Originator supplied keywords include: X-ray machine survey; Medical radiographic unit; Radiation protection.
