Measurement standards in respect of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation hazards

Abstract In order to fulfil its mission to ensure and promote the global comparability of measurements, the BIPM operates laboratories in the fields of physical metrology, time, ionizing radiation and chemistry. These laboratories act as centres for scientific and technical collaboration between Member States providing capabilities for international measurement comparisons on a shared cost basis. They coordinate international comparisons of national measurement standards agreed to be of the highest priority, and they establish and maintain appropriate reference standards for use as the basis of key international comparisons at the highest level and provide selected calibrations from them.

Primary Modality

Radiology installation is one of the supporting elements in a hospital whose primary function is to establish a diagnosis. Following its function, there are modalities of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Understanding a primary modality that uses ionizing radiation is necessary to create patient safety. Several other health workers participate in carrying out a radiology modality using both ionizing and non-ionizing aircraft modalities. Relates to the use of radiology equipment in other installations, for example, urological surgery installations held by urological surgeons, orthopedic surgeons in central surgical facilities, neurosurgeons specializing in the use of surgical support C arms, heart and vascular specialists. Blood in the catheterization laboratory installation, as well as the supporting nurses in each of these rooms. Understanding radiation and the basics of protection to ensure the safety and security of radiation protection or radiation hazards that the use of these modalities may cause.

Excessive Irradiation

THE MOST pressing current problem in pediatric radiology is the reduction of hazard to the patient from exposure to ionizing radiations. Pediatric radiologists must become deeply interested in the problems of better protection for their patients because fetuses, infants and children are the most vulnerable of all humans to injury by ionizing radiation, for several reasons. First, young patients are all potential parents. Second, they have the longest expectancy of survival which provides longer life spans for the development of leukemia and for additional, possibly excessive, irradiation. Third, their reticulum cells are more abundant and probably more labile, which makes them more prone to wild growth (leukemia). Fourth, in routine radiologic procedures relatively larger parts of their smaller bodies are usually exposed. Fifth, frightened youngsters often move during exposures and additional exposures must be made to get satisfactory films. Sixth, in small patients the gonads are nearer the central rays in all types of examinations, save when the gonads are exposed directly in adults. Seventh, currently the bones of younger children contain 3 to 4 times more radioactive strontium-90 per gram of calcium than the bones of adults.

Surface Bond

Modern surface analysis is based largely upon the use of ionizing radiation to probe the electronic and atomic structure of the surfaces physical and chemical makeup. In many of these studies the ionizing radiation used as the primary probe is found to induce changes in the structure and makeup of the surface, especially when electrons are employed. A number of techniques employ the phenomenon of radiation induced desorption as a means of probing the nature of the surface bond. These include Electron- and Photon-Stimulated Desorption (ESD and PSD) which measure desorbed ionic and neutral species as they leave the surface after the surface has been excited by some incident ionizing particle. There has recently been a great deal of activity in determining the relationship between the nature of chemical bonding and its susceptibility to radiation damage.
