Re: Shielding for dental offices

[Gary Isenhower <garyi@bcm.tmc.edu>]

I don't know about foot units, but dental units don't require leaded
walls.  The technicians, who are there all the time, never come up with
any readings on their film badges (when they are badged).  So the
public, who is present only occasionally, will never get anything like
100 mrem apart from the x-ray exam itself.
