X-ray ICU question

[Malek Chatila <mc02@aub.edu.lb>]

ýDear All,ý



ýI have a question to radiation safety personnel who work in medical

institutions.  Is it ýýa common practice to have a policy that require

every patient who is admitted to ICU ýý(intensive care unit) to undergo at

least one chest x-ray per day, every day, as long as ýýthe patient is in

the ICU?  Kindly note that I am not questioning whether the MD has ýýthe

right to order an x-ray or not on case by case basis.ý



ýYour assistance is appreciated in advance.ý



ýSincerely,ý
