Recommendations to reduce Radiation Exposure

The main objective of radiation protection procedures in an X-Ray Diagnostic
Installation is to limit the Radiation Exposure arising from the use of the Diagnostic
Equipment as low as possible so that the radiation doses received by the radiological
personnel and general public never exceeds the maximum permissible dose limits
recommended by ICRP (International Commission on Radiation Protection).

a) The radiation exposure to the patient should be the minimum exposure required to
produce images of good diagnostic quality. Use radiation with care, caution and at
a rate which is ALARA - ‘As Low As Reasonably Achievable’

b) The speed of the film, or screen and film combinations should be of fastest speed
consistent with the diagnostic objective of the radiographic examination.

c) During the radiographic examination, X-Ray field should be collimated to

dimensions not greater then the X-Ray film dimensions.

d) When a patient or film must be provided with auxiliary support during radiation
exposure:

Allengers 525mA -User Manual Page 5

AX 500 UM
 For Your Safety

(i) Mechanical holding devices shall be used when the technique permits.
(ii) Individuals may be permitted to hold the patient when absolutely
necessary and no individual shall be used routinely for this purpose to
the exclusion of others who might share the task.
(iii) If a human holder is required, the holder shall be positioned such that
no part of body shall be struck by primary X-Ray beam unless
protected by at least 0.5 mm lead equivalent and shall be protected
from direct scatter radiation by protective lead apron of not less then
0.25 mm lead equivalent.

e) Gonadal shielding of not less then 0.25 mm lead equivalent shall be used for
patients who have not passed their reproductive age during radiographic
procedures in which gonads are under primary beam, except, in cases where
shielding would interfere with diagnostic procedures.

f) Doors of an X-Ray room should be closed before making exposures.

g) The X-ray beam should not be directed towards doors or windows of the room, or
towards control panel or darkroom walls unless no other geometry is possible.

h) No patient should wait or change in X-Ray room while another patient is being
radiographed.

i) Except for patients who cannot be moved out of the room, only the staff and
necessary personnel required for medical procedure shall be inside the room
during radiographic exposure. Other then patient being examined:
(i) All individuals shall be positioned such that no part of body is struck
by useful beam unless protected by not less then 0.5 mm lead
equivalent.
(ii) The staff or ancillary persons shall be protected from direct scatter
radiations by protective aprons or full body protective barriers of not
less then 0.25 mm lead equivalent. The aprons shall be wrapped
around if an X-Ray exposure to the back is possible.
(iii) Patients who cannot be moved out from the room shall be protected
from direct scatter radiation by protective barriers not less then 0.25
mm lead equivalent or shall be positioned in such a way that nearest
portion of the body is at least 2 meters away from both the tube head
and nearest edge of image receptor.

j) Obey radiation protection rules pertaining to time, distance and shielding.

k) Prefer low exposure settings to high.

l) Use Collimator to set minimal useful field size; keep Image Intensifier in close
proximity to the patient.

 For Your Safety

First Aid In Case of Electrical Shock

1. Switch OFF the Power Supply: If this is not possible, protect

yourself with dry insulating material and pull the victim clear off
the conductor. Do not touch the victim with your bare hands until
he/she is clear off the conductor.

2. Place the victim in supine position.

3. Keep the air passage clear by turning the head to one side,
opening the patient’s mouth and cleaning it of water, saline,
mucus or blood, a lot of which might have accumulated in the
back of the throat.

4. If the jaw is rigid, try to force the mouth open by pressure on the
gum behind the last molar tooth of the lower jaw. When the
upper air passage is cleared, tilt the head backward and force the
jaw forward from the angles of the jaw in front of the ears. This
would prevent mechanical obstructions to the upper air passages.

5. Hold the chin up and forward with one hand and pinch the nostril
of the victim with other.

6. Take a very deep breath and apply your mouth to that of victim
and blow into his mouth until the chest of the victim moves up
indicating filling of the lungs (Never allow the chin to sag).

7. When the chest has moved up, withdraw your mouth and allow
the chest to sink back.

8. Repeat this process every three to four seconds until the victim
begins to breathe again or until he/she is taken over by Medical
Attendant. This method can be continued in an ambulance during
transit of the patient from the site of accident to the nearest
Medical Centre.

Have someone else sent for a Doctor.

Keep patient warm and loosen his/her clothing.

Do not give liquids until the patient is conscious.

3.5 Functional Description

Allengers 525 has real time active control of KVP and is displayed digitally. Any one of the
factors viz. Input Voltage Variation, Change of Technic (mA) Selection or change in KVP
results in variation of Displayed KVP. The X-Ray Generator precisely generates the
displayed KVP.

The Radiographic Technic (mA) variation is in 5 steps 100, 200, 300, 400 & 500mA.

Fluoroscopic mA is adjustable with a knob provided on the Control Panel & FmA is
displayed digitally on exposure.

mAs display indicates product of mA Selected & Time Selected.

With the help of mode switch, either the radiographic or the fluoroscopic Mode can be
selected.

ALLENGERS-525 is equipped with an Electronic overload circuitry which disallows all the
exposure beyond the tube Rating. This overload takes into account the Selected KVP, mA,
Time & any variation in Input Voltage.

The Table’s Bucky can be Selected either ”IN THE CIRCUIT’ or “OUT OF THE CIRCUIT”
with the help of a Switch provided on the Control Panel.

The line ON/OFF Switches are provided on the Control Panel to Energize / Reenergize the
X-Ray unit.

The ready Switch when pressed initiates the tube Rotor Start & filament Boosting.

The X-Ray Switch when pressed keeping the Ready Switch pressed initiates the exposure
and the exposure gets terminated automatically after the preset time.

A Push Button on the Control Panel resets the Fluoro Timer to Zero Level.

A Miniature Circuit Breaker is provided on the back side of Control Panel for over current
safety.

A Hand Switch with Retractable Cable is provided for exposure. The hand Switch enables
