Safety Guidelines
Radiation Safety
The scanner provides a high degree of protection from unnecessary radiation. However, no
practical design can provide complete protection nor prevent operators from exposing
themselves or others to unnecessary radiation. It is important to restrict use and follow all
applicable government radiation protection regulations.
Pregnant women should not be exposed to X-rays unless necessary. Proper safety precautions
should be taken to minimize dose to the fetus.
Radiation Protection Measures
Use the following measures to protect yourself and the patient from unintended exposure to
radiation. Anyone who is near the patient during test procedures must observe the following
precautions:
•
Maintain adequate distance from exposed radiation source.
•
Keep exposure times to a minimum, especially for pediatric patients.
•
Use protective clothing (lead apron, etc.) for all patients.
•
When scanning children, be aware that, due to their physical constitution, they react
more sensitively to X-ray radiation.
•
Wear a PEN dosimeter and/or film badge.
•
The physician is responsible for protecting the patient from unnecessary radiation.
Safety Precautions
WARNING
Failure to follow instructions below may result in serious bodily injury or death.
•
The X-ray scanner may be dangerous to the patient and operator if you do not
observe and follow operating instructions. Do not operate this scanner unless you
have received training to perform a procedure.
