Radiation protection of patients THE Radiation protection is defined as a set of rules, procedures and means of prevention and monitoring aimed at preventing or reducing the harmful effects of ionizing radiation produced on people directly or indirectly. Radiodiagnosis uses X-ray generators, which emit only for a very short time, and there is no problem of persistence of exposure or contamination of the environment. The following are concerned: conventional or interventional radiology devices and the scanner. It should be noted that radiodiagnosis uses very low doses of X-rays. MRI and ultrasound do not use X-rays. Radiation protection of patients, how? Our equipment is subject to very strict construction and installation standards. Our facilities are very regularly subject to internal and external quality controls via approved organizations as well as technical radiation protection controls. These ensure that the equipment is in good working order. Only our specifically trained personnel are authorized to use them (technicians, radiologists, etc.). Our team is engaged in a regular process of training in radiation protection for patients. Les demandes d’examen sont étudiées par nos médecins radiologues, qui choisissent la technique la plus adaptée et donne au manipulateur les consignes nécessaires pour que l’examen soit mené de manière à apporter le diagnostic recherché sans excès de dose de rayons X. Si nécessaire, le radiologue peut substituer l’examen demandé par un autre, non irradiant (échographie, IRM), selon l’indication et la disponibilité des matériels. Nos examens sont réalisés selon des protocoles préétablis, adaptés à la demande afin de maitriser et d’optimiser les doses reçues par les patients. Dans certains cas prévus par la réglementation, des données dosimétriques sont portées dans le compte-rendu d’examen. Des campagnes de mesures nationales sont réalisées annuellement afin d’optimiser en permanence les protocoles d’examen. Three populations are to be protected in particular: Women of childbearing age (our teams ensure, by appropriate questioning, before carrying out the examination, that any patient of childbearing age is not in a known state of pregnancy at the time of the examination ). Pregnant women. The children. Protection of pregnant women. Do not forget to report your pregnancy or any suspicion of pregnancy (late period). As a precautionary measure and in order to limit any risk, it is advisable to perform examinations using X-rays within the first 10 days of the cycle. © 2021 - Société Pictavix Developed by Agence Katla Legal Notice Privacy Policy Sitemap Employees area We use cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website.
