[ RadSafe ] RE: In utero dose

[Jose Julio Rozental]

Dear Mike,

It seems to me in USA most HP or RSO are familiar with national regulations,
not with International recommendation as ICRP or IAEA. Besides the following
ICRP  five sets educational (training),  also, recently IAEA has published
some Safety Report on nuclear medicine and radiotherapy for educational
(training) purpose.

ICRP material aimed at promoting knowledge about radiological protection in
medicine.
There are five ICRP  'slide sets' in Microsoft PowerPoint format,
downloadable  at http://www.icrp.org/educational_area.asp
primarely made to be  used by teachers, doctors, and those interested in
radiological protection in medicine.

            a..
             ICRP 84, Pregnancy and medical radiation (1.3 Mb)
            a..
             ICRP 85, Interventional radiology (1.4 Mb)
            a..
             ICRP 86, Accidents in radiotherapy (0.8 Mb)
            a..
             ICRP 87, CT dose management (0.6 Mb)
            a..
             ICRP 93, Digital radiology (1.2 Mb)


      Besides, also ICRP 90 and 95 has connection

      ICRP PUBLICATION 95: DOSES TO INFANTS FROM INGESTION OF RADIONUCLIDES
IN MOTHER'S MILK
      ICRP PUBLICATION 90: BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS AFTER PRENATAL IRRADIATION
(EMBRYO AND FETUS), 90
