CHAPTER 3 RADIATION PROTECTION - University of Florida
webfiles.ehs.ufl.eduGood radiation protection practices require optimization of these fundamental techniques. A. Time The amount of radiation an individual accumulates will depend on how long the individual stays in the radiation field, because: Dose (mrem) = Dose Rate (mrem/hr) x Time (hr) Therefore, to limit a person’s dose, one can restrict the time spent in ...
Chapter 4 RADIATION MONITORING INSTRUMENTS
www-naweb.iaea.orgIn radiation protection radiation is charac-terized as either weakly or strongly penetrating, depending on which dose equivalent is closer to its limiting value. In practice, the term ‘weakly penetrating’ radiation usually applies to photons below 15 keV and to b radiation.

ncrponline.orgMedical imaging frequently uses ionizing radiation to provide information necessary for patient care. The goal of radiation protection in medical settings is to manage the radiation dose to the patient to be commensu-rate with the medical purpose. Scientific understanding in the 1950s included the possibility of radiation-induced heritable effects.
