Occupational exposure at high energy medical linear accelerator

Abstract

© 2012 RAD Conference Proceedings. All rights reserved. Personell working in area exposed to radiation, due to safety reasons, requires premanent monitoring. Medical staff who work near radiation source must be protected as much as possible. Having that in mind, quality controle must be performed occasionally. In this study we presented dose values measured around medical linear accelerator. The results show that good protection plays important role in protection of patients and especially that of medical staff. Results were evaluated for three consecutive years. Results of measurements around the treatment head of linear accelerator, 2100C, are within the limits set by the law.
