Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. As used in these
				rules, the unit of exposure is the coulomb per kilogram (C/kg) of air. One
				roentgen is equal to two hundred fifty-eight millionths coulomb per kilogram of
				air.
2. As used in these rules, the
				units of dose are:
a. Rad is the special unit
				of absorbed dose. One rad is equal to an absorbed dose of one hundred erg per
				gram or one one-hundredths (1/100) joule per kilogram (0.01 Gy).
b. Gray (Gy) is the SI unit of absorbed dose.
				One gray is equal to an absorbed dose of one joule per kilogram (100
				rad).
c. Rem is the special unit of
				any of the quantities expressed as dose equivalent. The dose equivalent in rem
				is equal to the absorbed dose in rad multiplied by the quality factor (1 rem =
				0.01 Sv).
d. Sievert is the SI unit
				of any of the quantities expressed as dose equivalent. The dose equivalent in
				sievert is equal to the absorbed dose in gray multiplied by the quality factor
				(1 Sv = 100 rem).

				decontaminate such premises to meet the criteria for decommissioning in 10 CFR
				part 20, subpart E as adopted by this chapter. A survey shall be made after
				such decontamination and the department and the landlord or subsequent tenant
				or transferee shall be provided with a copy of such survey no less than thirty
				days before vacating or relinquishing possession or control of premises. No
				such premise may be vacated, sold, or transferred until the decontamination
				survey has been verified and accepted by the department. For naturally
				occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and technologically enhanced naturally
				occurring radioactive materials (TENORM), decontamination shall meet the
				standards found in table 4.2-07.1.
2.
Equipment.
No machinery,
				instruments, laboratory equipment, or any other property used in contact with,
				or close proximity to, NORM or TENORM, or both, at a licensed premise may be
				assigned, sold, leased, or transferred to an unlicensed person unless such
				property has been permanently decontaminated below or equal to the standards
				specified in 10 CFR part 20, subpart E as adopted by this chapter. A survey
				shall be made after such decontamination and the department and subsequent
				transferee or owner shall be provided with a copy of such survey. No such

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
An individual must perform at least three examinations prior
				  to requesting a final competency evaluation for each of the limited scope
				  examinations listed in appendix I. The three pre-evaluation examinations should
				  be on actual patients but may be simulated if there is an insufficient number
				  of patients requiring the procedure during the students clinical competency
				  training period. The evaluations shall be documented on forms provided by the
				  department. The final competency evaluation must be on an actual patient. To
				  pass a final competency evaluation, the individual must receive an acceptable
				  rating in each of the criteria listed below.
1. At a minimum, the following criteria must be evaluated
				  during a procedure and image competency evaluation involving an actual patient.
				  Simulated procedures need to evaluate only subdivisions a through k
				  below:
a. Select appropriate film size.
b. Select appropriate technique.
c. Use correct source-to-image distance.
d. Establish proper direction of central ray.
e. Execute proper patient position.
f. Collimate if appropriate.
g. Provide gonadal shielding if appropriate.
h. Use correct film markers.
i. Give proper patient instruction.
j. Place patient information correctly on the film.
k. Complete examination in an acceptable time limit.
l. All anatomical parts included on the film.
m. Correct positioning of anatomical parts.
n. Appropriate contrast.
o. Adequate density.
p. Correct use of right and left markers.
q. Proper accessory markers as needed.
r. No visible motion.
s. Patient information correct and clearly visible.
2. If the individual is unable to demonstrate clinical
				  competence while completing the requirements for clinical supervision in either
				  subdivision a or b of subsection 2 of appendix H due to a lack of opportunities
				  to conduct certain procedures, the student shall complete the three
				  prerequisite examinations using simulation for subdivisions a through k of
				  subsection 1. Final demonstration of competence in subdivisions a through s of
				  subsection 1 should be completed as soon as there is a patient requiring the
				  procedure. No individual may perform an unsupervised procedure for which they
				  have not successfully completed the final demonstration of competence.
