| Abstract:: |
| Objective To explore the investigation level of individual monitoring for medical radiation workers. Methods Monitoring and analysis of individual doses to the medical radiation workers in Guangdong province were performed, from 2016 to 2019, by the Individual Dose Monitoring Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital for Occupational Disease Prevention and Control. Results The numbers of monitored workers were diagnostic radiology 53 674, dental radiology 2 563, nuclear medicine 5 001, radiotherapy 16 687, interventional radiology 22 272 and others 2 087 from 2016 to 2019, of which the number of individuals with doses in excess of investigation level 1.25 mSv, were 76, 6, 18, 28, 133 and 2 respectively. The non-real doses made up 67.1 %, 100 %, 55.6 %, 82.1 %, 76.7 % and 100 % of their respective totals. Their 99th percentile doses P99 were 0.37, 0.39, 0.67, 0.35, 0.54 and 0.30 mSv, and the average periodic dose equivalent were 0.07, 0.06, 0.11, 0.06, 0.07 and 0.05 mSv respectively, indicating a statistically significant difference existing in the average annual effective dose between groups (Z=-26.139—-2.681,P<0.001). Conclusions Due to non-reality of doses in excess of investigation levels and high labor cost, it is suggested to currently use 0.40 mSv per 3 months as investigation level for diagnostic radiology, dental radiology, radiotherapy and others, and 0.70 mSv per 3 months as for nuclear medicine and interventional radiology. |
