Physical health: Radiation workers need physical health and can work under great pressure for a long time. Education: Radiologists need relevant education and professional knowledge, such as nuclear physics and radiation medicine. Serious and responsible: radiation workers need to be serious and responsible for their own work to ensure the safety and accuracy of their work. Rigorous and meticulous: Radiation workers need to have a rigorous and meticulous working attitude to avoid accidents caused by negligence.
Safety awareness: Radiation workers need to have high safety awareness, abide by relevant safety regulations and operating procedures, and ensure the safety of their work. Teamwork: Radiation workers need to have a good team spirit and cooperate with colleagues to complete the task. Continuous learning: Radiation workers need to constantly learn new knowledge and skills in order to keep up with the development and changes of the industry.
How to do a good job in personal protection of radiation workers
With the development of medical science and technology and the progress of society, medical imaging examination has become one of the important means of clinical diagnosis and has been recognized by the majority of medical staff and patients. However, due to its particularity, X-ray technology will not only benefit mankind, but also bring radiation damage to human body.
Even within the allowable safe dose range, individual sensitive organisms can react, leading to tissue and organ damage and physiological dysfunction. In order to control the radiation hazard in the lowest possible range, clinicians and radiation workers must do personal protection in clinical radiation diagnosis and treatment. There are mainly the following protection methods:
Use personal protective equipment, and choose suitable and effective personal protective equipment according to different working environments and needs. Strictly abide by the three principles of external radiation protection (time, distance and shielding), shorten the exposure time of equipment, increase the distance from X-ray equipment as much as possible, and do a good job in shielding facilities between radiation workers and X-ray equipment on the premise of meeting the needs of work.
With additional protective facilities, a hanging lead screen can be installed next to the equipment. If the X-ray tube is under the bed, you can install a lead curtain or a lead screen under the bed. Try to avoid the contact of body parts with X-ray fields, and do a good job in personal dose monitoring.
Real-time dose measurement system is useful, and at least two dosimeters are used: one is worn on the chest and inside the lead apron; One is worn around the neck or eyes, and the outside is shielded with lead; An annular dosimeter needs to be added when the hand approaches the main beam.
