RE: NRC Information Notice 2002-28/fluoroscopy
Mike,
Gary is partly correct in that a lot of overexposures was due to poor
training of the physicians with regard to the risk of skin exposures. (Of
course, in some situations, the patients presented difficult cases, and in
some repeat exams.)
There is interest paper and really nasty case shown in paper that can be
found at
http://ojps.aip.org/journals/doc/JACMFG-home/top5.jsp
Enter the search item as: protecting patients by training
Set the search field: TITLE
If that does not work, let me know and I will send a copy of the article as
a pdf file.
Have a good weekend.

I thought a big part was due to the fact that there is poor "live time"
knowledge of the cumulative dose.
