Radiation Protection & Monitoring
9. RADIATION MONITORING & PROTECTION

ACCESSORIES
9.1 Personnel Monitoring
Personnel monitoring is the evaluation of radiation doses received by the personnel
working with radiation.
The most commonly used personnel monitoring device is the film badge which consists
of a personnel monitoring film (PM Film) kept in cassette containing a set of filters. With
film badge, a wide range of doses from 10 mRem to 1000 Rem of different types of
radiation cab be evaluated. The film serves as a permanent record and if worn on chest,
gives the most representative value of whole body dose under normal working
conditions.
The radiation dose received by radiation worker can also be determined by the use of
Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) badge. This consists of three CaSO4:Dy TLD discs
embedded in a metallic frame work and enclosed in a multi filter cassette. The TLD
badge can be used to monitor Beta, Gamma and X-Ray radiations. The TLD badge can
cover a wide range of doses from 10 mRem to 1000 Rem.
In addition to PM Film & TLD Badge, radiation dose to personnel can also be assessed
by pocket dosimeters. Pocket dosimeters are very useful in certain operations, where the
radiation levels vary considerable and may be quite hazardous. They give on the spot
check of radiation doses.
It is always advisable that personnel handling the X-Ray machine should use TLD
badges, PM Films or other devices like Pocket Dosimeters to monitor the absorbed dose
within the safe limits.
9.2 Radiation Protection Accessories
It is advisable to all personnel handling X-Ray machines to use following radiation
protection accessories:
Lead Goggles
Protective Barrier
Lead Apron
Lead Gloves
Thyroid Shield
Gonad Shield
