Radiation Exposure ,Radiation safety- Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim
Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video demonstrates how radiation affects the body, the different types of radiology procedures, and safety recommendations. X-rays ionize human tissue and deposit energy that can cause harmful changes within the body (break the DNA chain). There is a cancer risk from X-rays. The dose of radiation is cumulative. X-rays are considered for carcinogen list. The government is attempting to avoid the use of unnecessary CT scans and x-rays to avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation. This highlights the cancer risk. Doctors need to pay close attention to the risks involved with the use of x-rays. The cancer risk associated with radiation exposure is documented in cases of atomic bomb survivors. The risk for medical uses is controversial and usually played down ...

Prenatal Radiation Exposure
During a radiation emergency, people may be exposed to large amounts of “high energy” radiation – much more than we get from everyday exposure like x-rays. Exposure to large amounts of high energy radiation or “ionizing radiation,” can cause harmful health effects in people. A developing fetus is especially sensitive to radiation exposure, particularly in the early stages of pregnancy.

What Do Radiation Contamination and Exposure Mean?
This brief animated video describes the concepts of radiation exposure and contamination with radioactive materials, to help people understand how to protect themselves in a radiation emergency and how these terms are used differently than in an infectious disease emergency. Removing radioactive contamination (decontamination) will be an important protective action in a radiation emergency.

Biological Effects of Radiation
Scientists have been studying the effects of radiation on the body for over 100 years, so we know quite a bit about how radiation interacts with living tissue. This video takes a closer look at how the amount of radiation our bodies receive, otherwise known as the dose, can affect the cells in our bodies.

RADIATION EXPOSURE FROM MEDICAL IMAGING: What Patients Should Know
http://www.ucsf.edu/news/2012/06/12146/radiation-exposure-medical-imaging-has-increased-even-hmos A study led by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Group Health Research Institute, shows that medical imaging is increasing even in health maintenance organization systems (HMOs), which don't have a financial incentive to conduct them. Published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the study is the first to look at how radiation exposure from CT scans and other procedures has grown within large integrated health care systems.

The Most Radioactive Man in History | Hisashi Ouchi’s Tragic Story
In this gripping episode, we delve into one of the most harrowing and tragic incidents in nuclear history—the Tokai nuclear accident of 1999. On September 30, three employees at the Japan Nuclear Fuel Conversion Company made a small but catastrophic mistake, leading to an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction. This accident exposed Hisashi Ouchi to radiation levels never before recorded, making him the most radioactive man in history. Join us as we explore the unimaginable suffering endured by Hisashi Ouchi, the desperate medical efforts to save his life, and the tragic aftermath that claimed more lives. We’ll also discuss the legal consequences and the long-lasting impact this disaster had on nuclear safety protocols in Japan. If you’re interested in learning about the devastating effects...

Is radiation dangerous? - Matt Anticole
View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/is-radiation-dangerous-matt-anticole When we hear the word radiation, it’s tempting to picture huge explosions and frightening mutations. But that’s not the full story — radiation also applies to rainbows and a doctor examining an X-ray. So what is it, really, and how much should we worry about its effects? Matt Anticole describes the different types of radiation. Lesson by Matt Anticole, animation by Tinmouse Animation Studio.

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video demonstrates how radiation affects the body, the different types of radiology procedures, and safety recommendations.
X-rays ionize human tissue and deposit energy that can cause harmful changes within the body (break the DNA chain). There is a cancer risk from X-rays. The dose of radiation is cumulative. X-rays are considered for carcinogen list. The government is attempting to avoid the use of unnecessary CT scans and x-rays to avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation. This highlights the cancer risk. Doctors need to pay close attention to the risks involved with the use of x-rays. The cancer risk associated with radiation exposure is documented in cases of atomic bomb survivors. The risk for medical uses is controversial and usually played down by physicians. Radiation at a high level is carcinogenic. The level of radiation from x-ray exposure is low. The effects of low-level radiation is not known.
What is the safe radiation level? The safe level is not known. It is known that CT scans, fluoroscopy, mammography and x-rays expose the public to high levels of radiation especially in young females. The risk of exposure should balance the medical benefit. Optimize radiation doses by exposing the patient only to enough radiation to get a clear image. There is a growing concern about the risk associated with giving patient large doses of radiation. The use of CT scans has increased recently in adults and children possibly exposing the patient to an unnecessarily high dose of radiation. CT scan is the method often used to diagnose cancer, diseases fractures and it exposes the patient to a much larger does of radiation than x-rays. Radiation from CT scan of the pelvis equals the same amount as 100 chest x-rays. Children are ten times more sensitive to radiation than adults. 3-4 million children receive CT scans and about 1,500 of them will develop cancer two decades later. Children should not be given an adult dose of radiation.
Radiation dose limits:
CT scan of the pelvis has the highest level of exposure to the skin, marrow and gonads. Use mini fluoroscopy C-arm whenever possible. Fluoroscopy emits a lot of radiation. The closer the extremity is to the radiation source, the higher the dose of radiation the patient receives. When the distance from the beam increases, the dose of radiation is less. Attempt to decrease exposure time. Radiation intensity follows the inverse square law. It is all about distance. If the intensity of radiation at 1 meter from the source is 100 mR/hr then the intensity of radiation at 2 meters from the source is ¼ or 25 mR/hr in same unit area. At 3 meters from the source, the intensity of radiation is 1/9 the original or 11.1 mR/hr.
Units of radiation (radiation nomenclature)
•Roentgen: unit of radiation exposure in air.
•Rad: energy absorbed per gram of tissue.
•Rem: biological effect of a rad.
There is less exposure to the physician when imaging a smaller body part. Larger body parts create an increased exposure to the physician when imaging a patient with C-arm. Do not be in the direct path of the radiation beam.
Protection:
•Monitoring: a dosimeter badge only records how much radiation you have received. It does not protect you from exposure to radiation.
•Shielding: lead gowns and aprons work to stop exposure to fluoroscopy radiation. Lead aprons attenuate scattered radiation by about 95%.
•Position
Rapidly dividing cells are most sensitive to radiation exposure: sperms, lymphocytes, small intestine, and stomach. Radiation damage seldom appears at the time of radiation. The first effects of radiation damage is usually seen as a drop in the white blood cell count. The first external sign of damage is seen as a skin burn. Studies suggest that people who use fluoroscopy extensively have a higher rate of cataracts.
Early effects or radiation exposure:
•Death
•Hematological depression
•Chromosome aberration
•Skin erythema
•Epilation.
Team exposure to radiation
•Direct beam 4,000 mrem/min
•Surgeon (1 ft.): 20 mrem/min whole body
•First assist (2 ft.): 6 mrem/min whole body
•No exposure (5 ft.) at scrub or anesthesiologist.
•6 feet is safe.

When we hear the word radiation, it’s tempting to picture huge explosions and frightening mutations. But that’s not the full story — radiation also applies to rainbows and a doctor examining an X-ray. So what is it, really, and how much should we worry about its effects? Matt Anticole describes the different types of radiation.

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video demonstrates how radiation affects the body, the different types of radiology procedures, and safety recommendations.
X-rays ionize human tissue and deposit energy that can cause harmful changes within the body (break the DNA chain). There is a cancer risk from X-rays. The dose of radiation is cumulative. X-rays are considered for carcinogen list. The government is attempting to avoid the use of unnecessary CT scans and x-rays to avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation. This highlights the cancer risk. Doctors need to pay close attention to the risks involved with the use of x-rays. The cancer risk associated with radiation exposure is documented in cases of atomic bomb survivors. The risk for medical uses is controversial and usually played down by physicians. Radiation at a high level is carcinogenic. The level of radiation from x-ray exposure is low. The effects of low-level radiation is not known.
What is the safe radiation level? The safe level is not known. It is known that CT scans, fluoroscopy, mammography and x-rays expose the public to high levels of radiation especially in young females. The risk of exposure should balance the medical benefit. Optimize radiation doses by exposing the patient only to enough radiation to get a clear image. There is a growing concern about the risk associated with giving patient large doses of radiation. The use of CT scans has increased recently in adults and children possibly exposing the patient to an unnecessarily high dose of radiation. CT scan is the method often used to diagnose cancer, diseases fractures and it exposes the patient to a much larger does of radiation than x-rays. Radiation from CT scan of the pelvis equals the same amount as 100 chest x-rays. Children are ten times more sensitive to radiation than adults. 3-4 million children receive CT scans and about 1,500 of them will develop cancer two decades later. Children should not be given an adult dose of radiation.
Radiation dose limits:
CT scan of the pelvis has the highest level of exposure to the skin, marrow and gonads. Use mini fluoroscopy C-arm whenever possible. Fluoroscopy emits a lot of radiation. The closer the extremity is to the radiation source, the higher the dose of radiation the patient receives. When the distance from the beam increases, the dose of radiation is less. Attempt to decrease exposure time. Radiation intensity follows the inverse square law. It is all about distance. If the intensity of radiation at 1 meter from the source is 100 mR/hr then the intensity of radiation at 2 meters from the source is ¼ or 25 mR/hr in same unit area. At 3 meters from the source, the intensity of radiation is 1/9 the original or 11.1 mR/hr.
Units of radiation (radiation nomenclature)
•Roentgen: unit of radiation exposure in air.
•Rad: energy absorbed per gram of tissue.
•Rem: biological effect of a rad.
There is less exposure to the physician when imaging a smaller body part. Larger body parts create an increased exposure to the physician when imaging a patient with C-arm. Do not be in the direct path of the radiation beam.
Protection:
•Monitoring: a dosimeter badge only records how much radiation you have received. It does not protect you from exposure to radiation.
•Shielding: lead gowns and aprons work to stop exposure to fluoroscopy radiation. Lead aprons attenuate scattered radiation by about 95%.
•Position
Rapidly dividing cells are most sensitive to radiation exposure: sperms, lymphocytes, small intestine, and stomach. Radiation damage seldom appears at the time of radiation. The first effects of radiation damage is usually seen as a drop in the white blood cell count. The first external sign of damage is seen as a skin burn. Studies suggest that people who use fluoroscopy extensively have a higher rate of cataracts.
Early effects or radiation exposure:
•Death
•Hematological depression
•Chromosome aberration
•Skin erythema
•Epilation.
Team exposure to radiation
•Direct beam 4,000 mrem/min
•Surgeon (1 ft.): 20 mrem/min whole body
•First assist (2 ft.): 6 mrem/min whole body
•No exposure (5 ft.) at scrub or anesthesiologist.
•6 feet is safe.

During a radiation emergency, people may be exposed to large amounts of “high energy” radiation – much more than we get from everyday exposure like x-rays. Exposure to large amounts of high energy radiation or “ionizing radiation,” can cause harmful health effects in people. A developing fetus is especially sensitive to radiation exposure, particularly in the early stages of pregnancy.

We have gone over some of the absolute worst ways to die, but today might be the actual worst, because dying this way is a slow and painful process. We are talking about dying from radiation exposure. It won't kill you quick, but can eventually break down the entire human body. Don't miss the new king of horrible deaths, Radiation.
