Re: Film Badges

Mr. Kane,

The Illinois regulations do not require that wrap-around aprons be used 
during fluoroscopy - only that aprons are used.  The best type to use is left 
to the discretion of the registrant.

With regard to the use of film badges, the regulations specify that the 
personnel monitoring device "shall be worn at the unshielded location of 
the whole body likely to receive the highest exposure.  When a protective 
apron is worn, the location of the individual monitoring device is 
typically at the neck (collar)."  This certainly does not preclude the use 
of an additional badge under the apron.

If you need further information, you can contact me at (217) 785-9976 or
