Children are considered a population at risk for the occurrence of radiation-induced pathologies, and the implementation of radiation protection measures relies on the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals. This analytical cross-sectional study aimed to assess the knowledge of Moroccan physicians prescribing pediatric CT scan examinations on the radiation protection of patients, radiation doses, and potential health risks of radiation exposure from CT scan. A questionnaire was distributed to all clinicians on the medical staff who prescribe pediatric CT examinations in five Moroccan pediatric hospitals. The questions have a focusing on prescribers’ practices and their knowledge of patient radiation protection, radiation doses, the potential health risks of radiation exposure from CT scan, and training on radiation protection. One hundred and ninety-two questionnaires were submitted to prescribers and among them, 88% responded. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package of Microsoft Office Excel. Knowledge gaps regarding CT scan radiation doses and associated health risks among Moroccan physicians are evident from this study results, initial and continuing training of health care staff and the implementation of referral guidelines for medical imaging could lead to improve practitioners’ knowledge of patient radiation protection.","PeriodicalId":21009,"journal":{"name":"Radioprotection","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84826134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency recommends using a 0.5-mm lead equivalence protective apron (PA) for staff with radiation exposure > 800 MBq of 99mTc. However, 0.5 mm PA is heavy and cumbersome to use. We evaluated the effectiveness of a 0.25 mm lead equivalence lightweight protective apron (L-PA) for NMRT radiation exposure during daily nuclear medicine procedures. The work was performed both with a phantom and in a real situation in our study. The phantom study was conducted with five radioisotopes (RI) placed 0.5 m from the human phantom with and without L-PA. In the clinical study, NMRT recorded the radiation dose for 20 days inside and outside the L-PA using clinical agents (140 examinations). In the phantom study, L-PA decreased the measured doses by 63% with 201Tl, 41% with 99mTc, 27% with 67Ga, 33% with 123I, and 10% with 131I. In the clinical study, L-PA reduced the average dose per day by 43%. Therefore, L-PA could have sufficient shielding ability for daily work, mainly using 99mTc, and could be recommended by considering PA weight.","PeriodicalId":21009,"journal":{"name":"Radioprotection","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78583897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EDF has adopted a system of reference monetary values in 1992, updated it in 2002, and was considering a new update. In 2019 and 2020, a designated EDF-CEPN working group investigated the elements (through survey, literature and feedback analysis) that might support a change and in which direction. A simplified system, based on one single reference monetary value of the man.sievert, has been proposed. The value takes into account the most recent recommendations from ICRP and French State administration and uses the state-of-the-art methodology in calculating the Value of Statistical Life and has been adjusted with an aversion risk factor considering the EDF radiation protection policy. The new reference value is 4,500 €/man.mSv. An upper value of 7,000 €/man.mSv can be used if the project presents radiation protection benefits (positive externalities) in addition to a reduction in collective dose. The Radiation Protection Manager makes the decision on which value should be selected, and the Radiation Protection Service, in collaboration with the other services, integrates the value in the optimization analysis, bearing in mind that the output will guide the decision (and not determine it) bringing also objectivity and transparency.","PeriodicalId":21009,"journal":{"name":"Radioprotection","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90868435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Risk management is very important in radiotherapy (RT), because incorrect treatment can have serious consequences in terms of mortality or morbidity. However, there are currently few studies on risk analysis in RT. This quantitative and qualitative study of the radiotherapy system (all radiotherapy process) uses the fault tree method, one of the probabilistic risk assessment methods in radiotherapy applications, which is used to devise accident preventive actions. First of all, RT applications were divided into simulation, treatment planning and treatment delivery. For each, work flow charts were determined, and fault trees were created in SAPHIRE (Systems Analysis Programs for Hands-on Integrated Reliability Evaluations) software. Fault probabilities were determined using the expert judgment method. This analysis allowed the identification of the weak points of the system, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The analyzes also revealed that there was a 0.5% occurrence probability of a top event, determined as an incorrect dose or dose distribution in RT. It was determined that the greatest contribution to this probability value was matching error with image guidance, 7.88%. Fault tree analysis (FTA) was found to facilitate a detailed examination of the radiotherapy system. After the risk analysis, the appropriate quality control method for weak points should be determined and implemented for safety management in radiotherapy.","PeriodicalId":21009,"journal":{"name":"Radioprotection","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82146085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While some SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals present as asymptomatic, others exhibit a range of symptoms including severe and rapid onset of high-risk indicators of mortality. Similarly, a variety of responses are also observed after a radiological exposure depending on radiation dose, dose heterogeneity, and biological variability. The impact of acute radiation syndrome (ARS) has guided the identification of many biomarkers of radiation exposure, the establishment of medical management strategies, and development of medical countermeasures in the event of a radiation public health emergency. Biodosimetry has a prominent role for identifying exposed persons during a large scale radiological emergency situation. Identifying exposed individuals is also critical in the case of pandemics such as COVID-19, with the additional goal of controlling the spread of disease. Conclusions and significance: IABERD has taken advantage of its competences in biodosimetry to draw lessons from current practices of managing the testing strategy for nuclear accidents to improve responses to SARS-CoV-2. Conversely, lessons learned from managing SARS-CoV-2 can be used to inform best practices in managing radiological situations. Finally, the potential need to deal with testing modalities simultaneously and effectively in both situations is considered.","PeriodicalId":21009,"journal":{"name":"Radioprotection","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90537642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The AMEDs in each medical department were 1.17 mSv in diagnostic radiology, 1.61 mSv in interventional radiology, 2.72 mSv in nuclear medicine, 1.59 mSv in radiation therapy, 1.32 mSv in operation room, 1.06 mSv in dentistry, and 1.54 mSv in others. A one-way ANOVA test indicated statistically significant differences between the departments’ workers (P = 0.001). The study reveals that the workers in the nuclear medicine department received the highest AMED among the other workers. The results reveal that no single occupational dose has exceeded the annual dose limit of 20 mSv.
