Re: Radiation monitoring badges in cine/floro exams
Those of you looking for further guidance on use of badges for external
exposure monitoring might want to get NCRP Report 122 "Use of Personal
Monitors to Estimate Effective Dose Equivalent and Effective Dose to
Workers for External Exposure to Low-LET Radiation" Issued Dec 27, 1995.
It describes how to calculate the dose quantities, and also offers
guidance on badge placement, including the specific situation of
fluoroscopy where a lead apron is worn.
