Radiation protection for medical and allied health personnel
With the ever-increasing use of x rays and radioactive materials, more and more persons may be exposed to ionizing radiations in the course of their work. The professional status of these individuals ranges from the highly-trained radiation specialist to the casual interdepartmental messenger. Many of these people have very little information about the possible biological effects of radiation or about the amounts which may be significant. Their attitudes toward possible exposure vary from indifference to almost pathological fear. Frequently they have questions about radiation and radiation protection practices but are reluctant or unable to seek out those who could provide answers. Their concern and interest, however, should not be ignored. This report seeks to meet their needs.
