Prompted by the concerns of the staff and patients, radiation hazards from Cobalt 60 (Co 60) plaque therapy for choroidal melanoma were recently assessed when two patients were concurrently treated at Christchurch Hospital. The risks from radiation to the attending medical staff, nursing personnel from the operating theatre and ward, and the patients' visitors were investigated. The radiation dose for all staff and visitors involved with the two patients was found to be well below the recommended weekly limits set by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. Our department code of practice to minimise radiation hazard during plaque therapy has been revised.
在工作人员和患者的关切促使下，最近对克赖斯特彻奇医院同时治疗两名患者时钴60（Co 60）敷贴疗法产生的辐射危害进行了评估。对参与治疗的医务人员、手术室和病房的护理人员以及患者访客所受辐射风险进行了调查。结果发现，参与这两名患者治疗的所有工作人员和访客所接受的辐射剂量远低于国际放射防护委员会规定的每周推荐限值。我们部门关于在敷贴疗法期间将辐射危害降至最低的操作规范已得到修订。
