The radiation safety practices in a group of 25 UK and USA hospitals have recently been assessed. This took the form of detailed inspections of some 62 medical radiation departments, including Diagnostic X-ray, Radiotherapy, Nuclear Medicine and Pathology/Research (Radionuclide) Departments. Empirical expressions called "Radiation Safety Indices" were devised to evaluate the incidence of personal doses and radiological incidents occurring from 1977-82 and to characterise the safety facilities, procedures, supervision and educational techniques in each department. An outline is given of national legislative material and voluntary codes of conduct, together with the results of the departmental inspections. The computed indices are presented graphically and an analysis given of apparent national trends.
最近对英国和美国的25家医院的辐射安全实践进行了评估。评估形式为对约62个医学辐射科室进行详细检查，这些科室包括诊断性X射线、放射治疗、核医学以及病理学/研究（放射性核素）科室。设计了名为“辐射安全指数”的经验公式，以评估1977年至1982年期间个人剂量和放射事故的发生率，并描述每个科室的安全设施、程序、监督和教育技术。概述了国家立法材料和自愿行为准则，以及科室检查结果。以图表形式呈现计算出的指数，并对明显的国家趋势进行了分析。
