Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) "Absorbed dose
			 (D)" means the mean energy imparted by ionizing radiation to matter. Absorbed
			 dose is determined as the quotient of DE by DM, where DE is the mean energy
			 imparted by ionizing radiation to matter of mass DM. The SI unit of absorbed
			 dose is joule/kg and the special name of the unit of absorbed dose is the gray
			 (Gy). The previously used special unit of absorbed dose (rad) is being replaced
			 by the gray.
(2) "Absorbed dose
			 rate" means absorbed dose per unit time, for machines with timers, or dose
			 monitor unit per unit time for linear accelerators.
(3) "Accessible surface" means surface of
			 equipment or of an equipment part that can be easily or accidentally touched by
			 persons without the use of a tool.
(4) "Added filtration" means any filtration
			 which is in addition to the inherent filtration that is in the primary
			 beam.
(5) "Air kerma (K)" means the
			 kinetic energy released in air by ionizing radiation. Kerma is determined as
			 the quotient of DE/DM, where DE is the sum of the initial kinetic energies of
			 all the charged ionizing particles liberated by uncharged ionizing particles in
			 air of mass DM. The SI unit of air kerma is joule/kg.
(6) "Authorized user" means:
(a) An individual authorized to order
			 treatment with external beam radiation therapy who meets the requirements in
			 OAR 333-123-0015.
(b) An
			 individual authorized to order treatment with superficial electronic
			 brachytherapy who meets the requirements of OAR 333-123-0125.

			 of a patient. Medical treatment events occur when the administration of an
			 external beam radiation therapy dose:
(a)
			 Administration results or will result in unintended permanent functional organ
			 damage or physiological injury as determined by a Qualified Radiation Therapy
			 Physician; or
(b) Involves the
