Clarification Of Radiation Control Regulations For Diagnostic X Ray Equipment

Radiation Protection in Diagnostic X-Ray Imaging covers the recent developments that have been introduced to address the increasing dose to the patient, and new assessment tools for use in dose optimization studies. Based on material from ASRT, ARRT and CAMRT, as well as Current Concepts of Radiation Protection. Content is mapped to the ARRT Radiation Protection Examination Specifications and ASRT Radiation Protection Objectives. In addition to topics prescribed by the ARRT for the certification examination, this book includes topics for advanced study. Some electronic and eBook versions do not include access to Navigate 2 Advantage resources.

Contains regulations published in the Federal register.

This code is concerned with the protection of all individuals who may be exposed to radiation emitted by x-ray equipment used in medical diagnosis.
