3.2 Protection against radiation
Although the dose supplied by modern X-ray units is quite low, the
operator must adopt the precautions and/or suitable protection for the
patient and himself according to current regulations, during the
execution of radiography.
WARNING:
Protection against radiation is regulated according to law. The equipment
may only be used by specialised personnel.
a)
The film (or the digital sensor) must be placed in the patient's mouth
either manually or using the specific supports, and must be held in
position by the patient if necessary.
b)
During exposure to the rays, the operator must not be in contact
with the tube-head or the collimator cone.
c)
During exposure, the operator must maintain a certain distance from
the source of the rays (at least 2 metres) in the opposite direction of
the emission.
d)
During exposure, only the operator and the patient may be present in
the room.
e) Use the specific leaded aprons to reduce the undesired effect of
secondary radiations for the patient.
NOTE:
In reference to the image receptor used, the operator must consider the
presence of residual radiation.
