What are the health benefits of radiation workers?

There is no uniform standard, and regulations vary from place to place. Relevant national regulations are as follows: 1. Radiation workers have a physical examination once a year after taking up their posts, and the medical examination expenses shall be borne by each research group. 2. Isotope administrator will establish personal health records for all radiation workers, and record the results of previous physical examinations and treatment opinions in detail, and keep them for 20 years after they leave the radiation work post. 3. Workers or users diagnosed as pregnant or lactating should stop isotope operation. 4. The health care allowance for radiation workers shall be implemented according to the relevant national and local regulations. Temporary transfer can continue to enjoy the allowance, but not more than three months, and radiation workers who have officially transferred can continue to enjoy the allowance for one month, starting from the second month. 5. Radiation workers can enjoy 2 weeks of health care leave every year, and radiation workers who enjoy winter and summer vacations no longer enjoy health care leave. 6. All radiation workers who receive personal dose monitoring must wear personal dosimeter during their work. Monitoring costs are self-care. According to the "Regulations on Health Management of Radiation Workers" of the Ministry of Health, the health care treatment of radiation workers shall be implemented in accordance with relevant state regulations. The health leave of radiation workers should be based on the radiation dose and length of service, and they can enjoy 2 to 4 weeks of health leave every year except other holidays. Employees who have been engaged in radiation work for more than 25 years shall enjoy 2-4 weeks' rest every year arranged by their work units. Radiation workers enjoy health care allowance as usual during health check-up, vacation, hospitalization or illness treatment, and medical expenses are paid by public medical care, labor insurance medical care or the unit where they work, and the unit where they work should give appropriate care in life. Personnel who have been engaged in radiation work for a long time may retire in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state after being diagnosed and confirmed by organizations or institutions specified in Article 12 of these Provisions due to illness. Radiation workers who are disabled due to occupational radiation work shall be paid wages and medical and health allowances after retirement. Death due to ineffective treatment of radioactive diseases shall be regarded as sacrifice in the line of duty. In order to make a definite diagnosis, clinicians often need patients to go to the radiology department for various examinations, such as fluoroscopy, radiography, barium meal in digestive tract, special radiography and so on. So patients often ask radiologists questions of one kind or another, and the most common question is: Do these tests have a great impact on my health? Answering this question is not a simple sentence, and the specific situation should be treated from the basic principle of X-ray. X-ray was discovered by German physicist Roentgen William Conrad on1895165438+1October 8. At that time, because people didn't understand this kind of ray, they gave it an unknown name "X", and later people called it "X-ray". X-rays are really harmful to human health. The greater the X-ray exposure, the greater the damage to human health. X-ray irradiation can accumulate in the body, and its main harm is that it has certain lethality to white blood cells in human blood components, which reduces the number of white blood cells in human blood, and then leads to the decline of immune function of the body, which is easy to make bacteria invade the body and cause diseases. According to the principle of X-ray theory, the patient's safe exposure should be within 100 roentgen during X-ray examination, and the allowable exposure times and time should be determined according to this exposure. For example, chest fluoroscopy should not exceed 12 minutes in a few days, and gastrointestinal examination should not exceed 10 minutes. As for the photo inspection, because the exposure is different in different parts, the corresponding allowable exposure times are also different. The influence of patients doing 2 ~ 3 times a year on their health can be ignored. Moreover, with the continuous development of medical images, green screen and green film are used in films and clips at present, which reduces the X-ray irradiation dose by 1/2 compared with the original dose, which further protects the health of patients and does not reduce the diagnosis effect at all. In addition, in recent years, major hospitals have adopted the method of taking photos as the main method, supplemented by perspective. On the one hand, it can reduce patients' excessive intake of X-rays (fluoroscopy is larger than X-rays taken), on the other hand, it can also provide basis for the diagnosis of diseases and facilitate treatment and reexamination. Although X-rays are safe for most people, it should be emphasized that pregnant women, babies and children should try their best to avoid X-rays because they are very sensitive to X-rays. If examination is needed, especially pelvic measurement or fetal examination, the exposure times shall not exceed 2 ~ 3 times. X-ray examination of infants and young children is best to expose only the examination site and cover the rest. In general, it should be relatively safe if it does not exceed the allowed irradiation time and times. But everyone's sensitivity to X-rays is different, and it is also related to the general health of the human body. More importantly, the so-called safe exposure dose does not guarantee that it is also safe for genetic factors, because it is not clear how much exposure dose is enough to affect heredity. However, from the point of view of prevention, the fewer X-rays, the better.
