Zaštita na radu medicinskih sestara/tehničara zaposlenih u zoni ionizirajućeg zračenja
Abstract
Life on Earth has developed and is developing in the presence of radiation. Radiation is the energy that travels through space and is present everywhere around us. Life on Earth developed in the environment of ionizing radiation. The discovery of ionizing radiation begins a significant period in medical diagnosis and treatment. By discovering x-rays and its use in medicine, an awareness of its adverse effects on the human body is growing. Increased use of ionizing radiation increases the likelihood of harmful health hazards if it is not used properly. Medical X-rays come up with problem finding or diagnosis (such as dental x-ray or x-rays in orthopaedics and traumatology) and can also be used to treat the disease. Everyday development of medical radiology comes up with new findings related to diagnosis and treatment, and thus to the improvement of individual procedures. Nurses / technicians who are exposed on a daily or periodic basis during their work with ionizing radiation may reduce the risk of undesirable consequences of radiation by appropriate workplace protection that will prevent unnecessary exposure to large doses. Good professional education is the first precondition for protection, whose aim is not just to know the consequences of radiation but also all the means, means and methods for reducing radiation exposure. Protection of nurses / technicians work includes good training, wearing protective clothing, carrying dosimeters and systematic examinations.
