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.
