| In-room protection poster – Cardiac procedure, radial access 1 | ||||
| This poster series is designed to serve as a quick-reference guide in operating theatres, offering clear, visual instructions on the suggested, optimal placement of X-ray protection screens. Each poster addresses specific procedural environments where X-rays are frequently used, ensuring that staff have easy access to tailored guidance aimed at reducing radiation exposure.
The collection spans a range of procedures, including: • Cardiac interventions: Radial Access • Vascular interventions: Femoral Access • Orthopaedic procedures: Upper and lower limb surgeries • Urological procedures: Retrograde imaging techniques By standardising the placement of protective screens across different operating scenarios, the series aims to enhance safety practices, and ultimately contribute to a safer working environment in the theatre. |

| The Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 require the employer to ensure that, once the employee has notified them that she is pregnant, the equivalent dose to the fetus is unlikely to exceed 1 mSv during the remainder of the pregnancy. At this level of exposure there is no evidence to show that there is any significant risk of radiation effects to the fetus. | ||||

Medical Management of Radiation Accidents0905749464 |
|
|||
| Manual on the Acute Radiation Syndrom | ||||
| The medical management of radiation accident victims is classically centred on the assessment and reconstruction of the radiation dose. However, in operational situations, dose assessment and reconstruction is an uncertain and lengthy process unable to reflect the complex interplay of irradiation with tissue and organs or the extent of biological damage to the organism, especially in the early phase after a radiation accident.
Therefore diagnosis, as well as, therapy of an Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) should be based on the recognition and assessment of clinical signs and symptoms after acute radiation exposure. This publication reviews the currently available knowledge and introduces a novel approach for the care of radiation accident victims. 2001, ISBN 0 905749 46 4, 64 pp., plus Compendium. |

PET Scanning in Radiotherapy. BJR Supplement 280905749618 |
|
|||
| Aims to raise awareness of the potential of PET scanning in the wider community and to highlight the research areas necessary to develop PET as a useful clinical entity within the NHS. Proceedings of a BIR scientific meeting, held in collaboration with NT | ||||
| Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive, quantitative imaging technique that can visualise biochemical, physiological and biological processes in vivo. It is the most specific and sensitive molecular imaging technique in man. In recent years, PET has emerged as a valuable tool for tumour diagnosis, disease staging and treatment monitoring. In particular, PET has great potential as an important component of the radiotherapy treatment process. Although CT is the current gold standard for disease staging, PET has the potential to refine and improve this, and to provide powerful biological information. | ||||
