What is Radiation Protection? Science and practice of limiting harm to the human beings from ionizing radiation. In all radiological activities it is important to have some idea of the risk associated with the use of ionizing radiation. Risk: a combination of the probability that a harmful consequences may occur and the size of that consequences.

Exposure Types of Exposure Occupational Exposure Medical Exposure Public Exposure

1. Occupational Exposure  Exposure of persons in work place as part of the work they perform.  It can be controlled by three levels : (1) At the source (shielding). (2) At the environment (ventilation). (3) At the work place (Practice Radiation Protection).

2. Medical Exposure It is the exposure of a person as part of a medical diagnosis or treatment. The exposure is controlled as the same three levels as for occupational exposure but is included as part of the diagnosis or treatment plan not as part of a radiation protection system. 3. Public Exposure  It is the exposure of a person by means other than occupational or medical exposure.  The controls should be applied at the source. They should only be applied to the environment or to the individuals if source controls are not effective.

Introduction to radiation hazards Since the early 1900s, scientists have been aware of beneficial as well as the destructive potential of ionizing radiation. By using the knowledge of radiation hazards which has been gained over the years from: Radium-dial painters. Uranium miners. Early medical radiation workers. Japanese atomic bomb survivor Evacuees from the Chernobyl nuclear power station disaster.

Atomic bomb

Justifications and Responsibility for Radiological Procedures Ionizing radiation possesses a beneficial as well as destructive potential, the potential benefits of exposing the patient to radiation outweigh the risk involved. Applying ALARA principle: ALARA means As Low As Reasonably Achievable.

Who is responsible? Physicians who order radiological examination. Radiological Technologist accept a portion of responsibility by providing quality patient care and radiological services. The radiologist & Technologist share the responsibility for keeping medical radiation exposure to the lowest level possible.

Ionizing Radiation In simple term radiation is transfer of energy that results either because of a change occurring naturally within an atom (e.g. radioactive decay) or a process caused by the interaction of a particle with an atom. The latter occurs most commonly when a beam of high-energy electrons bombards the atom composing the target of an x-ray tube. When radiation passes through matter produces positively and negatively charged particles (ions), it is called ionizing radiation.

Not all forms of radiation are capable causing ionization e.g. microwaves, radio waves, and UV rays. X-ray has the ability to cause ionization by removal orbital electron from the atom, this electrically charged particle possess the potential to cause biological damage in human. by ionizing the atoms which tissues are composed results in a molecular change and this in turn can cause cellular damage which in turn may cause abnormal cell function. When sufficient cellular damage, the living organism may show signs of organic damage (genetic or somatic changes).

Sources of Ionizing Radiation

A.Natural radiation: The main natural sources of radiation are cosmic radiation, radiation from terrestrial sources and radioactivity in the body. The average dose rate from these sources is about 1 mSv/year. A.1 Cosmic radiation: Cosmic radiation reaches the earth from interstellar space and from the sun. The atmosphere acts as a shield and reduces the amount of cosmic radiation reaching the Earth’s surface. The average dose rate at sea-level is about 0.25 mSv/year and it increases with altitudes.

A.2 Radiation from terrestrial sources:  The rocks and soil of the Earth’s strata contain small quantities of the radioactive elements uranium with daughter products.  The dose rate from this source is about 0.2 mSv/year. A.3 Radiation from terrestrial sources:  The ingestion and inhalation of naturally occurring radionuclides gives rise to a dose which depends on the location and diet.

B.1 Diagnostic radiology: It has been estimated that about 90% of the total exposure of the population from medical uses of radiation results from the diagnostic use of x-rays. The most critical parts of the body are the bone marrow, the gonads and the fetus in pregnant women. The dose rate from this source is about 0.2 mSv/year. B.2 Therapeutic radiology: Although large exposures may be used in radiotherapy, the average dose to the population is much less than that from diagnostic radiology, because a small number of people are involved.

B.3 Uses of radioisotopes:  Radioisotopes are used in medicine to trace the path and location of specific chemicals in the body or to show lesions in the body.  This is achieved by an internal administration of a radioisotope into the body, and then images of the body are acquired using gamma camera.  The radionuclides used in nuclear medicine are all of man- made variety, and they are produced by nuclear reactors, harged-particles accelerators and radionuclide generators.  The dose rate from this source is about 0.03 mSv/year.

B.4 Occupational exposure Occupational exposure for medical workers results from exposure to x-rays, dealing with radioactive materials (labelling, preparing vials and syringes), being close to injected patients, etc. Atomic energy workers or researchers receive appreciable doses as well. B.5 Radioactive waste In nuclear medicine, radioactive waste is not a significant problem because medical radioisotopes used are normally of short half-life.

B.5 Fall-out from nuclear tests: Some radioactive fall-out from nuclear weapon tests disperse into the atmosphere and are carried around the Earth several times. They gradually return to the Earth over a period of a few years giving doses to the world’s population. The most important radioactive fall-out are strontium- 90 (90Sr, T½=29 years), which concentrates in the skeleton, and caesium-137 (137Cs, T½=30 years), which is distributed uniformly in the body. The dose rate from this source is about 0.05 mSv/year.
