Radiological protection assessment of a hospital Clinac 23EX medical electron accelerator construction project / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the radiation protection of occupational hazards in a hospital Clinac 23EX medical electronic accelerator construction project so as to ensure the health and safety of the relevant people involved.Methods According to the relevant laws,regulations and standards of China,combined with the relevant materials provided by the construction unit,the radiation protection tests and comprehensive assessment of this project were carried out.Results The performance test results of the medical electron accelerator met the requinements of GB/T 19046-2013 The ambient dose equivalent rate in the workplace was between the background dose rate (0.10 μ,Sv/h) and 11.5 μSv/h,which suggested the computer room shielding met the requirements of radiation protection.The total body effective dose,the for 7 radiation workers were 0.85,1.19,1.64 mSv,respectively,which were lower than the dose management control values of the construction unit and the national standards.Radiation protection supplies and the management system of the construction unit met the national requirements.Conclusions The construction project can effectively control the radioactive occupational hazard factors in normal operation,and the radiation protection facilities have reached the completion requirements.
