Biomedical science researchers often express frustration that health physics practices vary widely between individual institutions. A survey examining both internal and external dose assessment practices was devised and mailed to fifty institutions supporting biomedical science research. The results indicate that health physics dose assessment practices and policies are highly variable. Factors which may contribute to the degree of variation are discussed.
生物医学科研人员常常表达不满，因为各机构间的健康物理学实践差异很大。为此设计了一项调查，考察内部和外部剂量评估实践，并将其邮寄给五十家支持生物医学科研的机构。结果表明，健康物理学剂量评估实践和政策差异很大。文中讨论了可能导致差异程度的因素。
