Since the 1980s, scholars from various countries have begun to study relative risk of lung cancer caused by radon. The research results show that radon exposure can increase the risk of lung cancer in underground miners. However, due to the limitations of research cohort and calculation software, the excess relative risk coefficient of radiation-induced cancer in China has not been obtained.To...
Exposure to diagnostic radiation from computed tomography (CT) scans is an additional source of potential radiation risk for nuclear workers. To ensure their adequate protection, it is necessary to control the radiation burden resulted from diagnostic CT exposures. A radiation-epidemiological register of CT-exposed persons has been created for this purpose.
The “CT Register” currently...
The catheterization laboratory is considered an area where exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) is particularly high during fluoroscopic procedures. Neuro-vascular and cerebro-vascular damage are considered to be induced by IR. Such damage is postulated to be repaired by circulating endothelial and neural circulating progenitor cells originating from the Bone Marrow. The aim of the present...
Abstract: Working in the field of ionizing radiation involves many risks due to the harmful biological effects of ionizing radiation on the health of workers who are involved. Therefore, radiation protection center (RPC) the regulatory body in Iraq which is responsible of monitoring all activities related to ionizing radiation and responsible of monitoring 6200 workers in radiation field...
Abstract
The research aims to assess the radioactivity levels at Al-Tuwaitha nuclear site due to the remnants it contains such as destroyed buildings, facilities, and the previous activities at the site before the gulf-war, 1991. In addition to the decommissioning processes and treatment of the radioactive contamination practiced by the assigned teams from the directorates of the site since...
“Cytogenetic Dosimetry: Applications in Preparedness for and Response to Radiation Emergencies (IAEA，2011) ”plays a vital role in radiology. Although IAEA Manual Report 405 for additional details that were left out of the IAEA Manual 2011. The use of the G function, a time dependent function used to modify the dose squared coefficient of the linear quadratic dose response relationship to...
Key points
● Radiation workers have certain radiation damage, and the focus is on those engaged in interventional radiology.
● The detection rate of lens opacity was higher among the radiological workers，but 99.7% of the lens opacity occurs in the peripheral cortex of the eye. Posterior subcapsular opacification of posterior pole of the lens less than 3‰ (The national standard of...
