Lithium fluoride thermoluminescent dosimeter chips were used to measure the radiation dose received by anaesthetists caused by the use of image intensification during a typical 4-week period in an orthopaedic theatre. These were used to estimate an annual dose, for comparison with dose limits, to ascertain if anaesthetists should be included in personnel monitoring services. Doses proved to be below detectable limits; hence anaesthetists are at minimal risk from occupational exposure to radiation. The orthopaedic theatre is believed to use more x-rays than other theatres, so exposure elsewhere should also be undetectable.
使用氟化锂热释光剂量计芯片来测量骨科手术室中麻醉师在典型的4周时间内因使用影像增强设备而受到的辐射剂量。这些剂量计用于估算年度剂量,以便与剂量限值进行比较,从而确定麻醉师是否应纳入人员监测服务范围。结果显示剂量低于可检测限值;因此,麻醉师职业暴露于辐射的风险极小。据信,骨科手术室使用的X光比其他手术室更多,所以其他地方的辐射暴露也应检测不到。
