Ionising Radiation: A Physical Hazard in the Workplace
In this video I will be giving a brief overview of Ionising Radiation, which is an important type of occupational hazard that a worker can be potentially exposed to!
I will go over three main topics
- A brief overview on the electromagnetic spectrum in particular ionising radiation
- How we determine radiation dose, potential health effects of radiation and current dose limits
- The types of controls that should be in place to minimise exposure
Useful references for further reading on the topic:

What is ionising radiation?
John Tuffy, HIQA Regional Manager (Ionising Radiation) explains what ionising radiation is and describes the potential for damage to cells and tissues in those exposed to radiation. For each exposure to ionising radiation, the benefit for carrying out an exposure must always outweigh the potential detriment the exposure can cause.
Introduction of new legislation promoting radiation protection measures will help regulate the practices and procedures that a patient receives as part of their diagnosis or treatment in line with national legislation.
Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom was transposed into Irish law as European Union (Basic Safety Standards for Protection Against Dangers Arising from Medical Exposure to Ionising Radiation) Regulations 2018.

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.

Ionizing Radiation: Breast Cancer Risk Factor
Just 10% of breast cancer risk can be solely explained by genetics. That means that 90% of risk is related to factors that we can both directly, and indirectly, impact for positive health outcomes.
For most people, the largest source of exposure to ionizing radiation is from medical diagnostic procedures, which include x-rays, mammograms, CT scans, and fluoroscopy. Currently, only mammography undergoes close federal oversight. CT scans are of the greatest concern because of their higher doses and frequent use. In the U.S. one CT scan is performed per four individuals and the radiation levels at these examinations are up to 500 times the level of an x-ray radiograph.
For some people, other sources of ionizing radiation exposure include air travel. Work in the nuclear industry, as well as ...

This high school expellee won the first Nobel Prize in Physics
#röntgen #wilhelm #xrays #scientists #physicists #physics #documentaries #discoveries
In 1895, Wilhelm Röntgen made a discovery that transformed medicine and revealed the secrets of the invisible world. While investigating cathode rays, he uncovered a mysterious phenomenon he named X-rays—a breakthrough that earned him the inaugural Nobel Prize in Physics. This documentary takes you inside the lab where history was made, delving into the chance discovery, the scientific advancements it sparked, and its lasting influence on diagnostic medicine and beyond. Join us to uncover the story of a humble physicist whose curiosity brought the unseen to light and reshaped the course of science.

Revolutionizing Scoliosis Imaging Without Ionizing Radiation
New surface imaging technology could make ionizing radiation a thing of the past in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients. A team of researchers from HSS is learning how to accurately and reliably correlate EOS radiographic data with 3D topographic scanning data obtained from a highly precise 3D-camera system. Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Chief Roger Widmann, MD, and Howard Hillstrom, PhD, Director of the Leon Root, MD Motion Analysis Laboratory at HSS, describe what makes this research so exciting.

John Tuffy, HIQA Regional Manager (Ionising Radiation) explains what ionising radiation is and describes the potential for damage to cells and tissues in those exposed to radiation. For each exposure to ionising radiation, the benefit for carrying out an exposure must always outweigh the potential detriment the exposure can cause.
Introduction of new legislation promoting radiation protection measures will help regulate the practices and procedures that a patient receives as part of their diagnosis or treatment in line with national legislation.
Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom was transposed into Irish law as European Union (Basic Safety Standards for Protection Against Dangers Arising from Medical Exposure to Ionising Radiation) Regulations 2018.
The regulations define new minimum safety requirements to protect individuals from hazards associated with medical exposures to ionising radiation.
A medical exposure to ionising radiation is when a patient receives ionising radiation as part of their diagnosis or treatment. It also includes exposure to radiation for medical or biomedical research purposes as well as carers and comforters exposed to ionising radiation while attending a patient.

Acute Radiation Syndrome: A Fact Sheet for Clinicians

"Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) (sometimes known as radiation toxicity or radiation sickness) is an acute illness caused by irradiation of the entire body (or most of the body) by a high dose of penetrating radiation in a very short period of time (usually a matter of minutes). The major cause of this syndrome is depletion of immature parenchymal stem cells in specific tissues."

Just 10% of breast cancer risk can be solely explained by genetics. That means that 90% of risk is related to factors that we can both directly, and indirectly, impact for positive health outcomes.
For most people, the largest source of exposure to ionizing radiation is from medical diagnostic procedures, which include x-rays, mammograms, CT scans, and fluoroscopy.

For some people, other sources of ionizing radiation exposure include air travel. Work in the nuclear industry, as well as exposure to nuclear weapons production, use, and testing, affects military personnel, civilians, and nearby communities.
Radiation not only increases cancer risk but can also interact with, trigger, or amplify, the impacts of other breast cancer risk factors.

Just 10% of breast cancer risk can be solely explained by genetics. That means that 90% of risk is related to factors that we can both directly, and indirectly, impact for positive health outcomes.
For most people, the largest source of exposure to ionizing radiation is from medical diagnostic procedures, which include x-rays, mammograms, CT scans, and fluoroscopy. Currently, only mammography undergoes close federal oversight. CT scans are of the greatest concern because of their higher doses and frequent use. In the U.S. one CT scan is performed per four individuals and the radiation levels at these examinations are up to 500 times the level of an x-ray radiograph.
For some people, other sources of ionizing radiation exposure include air travel. Work in the nuclear industry, as well as exposure to nuclear weapons production, use, and testing, affects military personnel, civilians, and nearby communities.
Radiation not only increases cancer risk but can also interact with, trigger, or amplify, the impacts of other breast cancer risk factors.

In 1895, Wilhelm Röntgen made a discovery that transformed medicine and revealed the secrets of the invisible world. While investigating cathode rays, he uncovered a mysterious phenomenon he named X-rays—a breakthrough that earned him the inaugural Nobel Prize in Physics. This documentary takes you inside the lab where history was made, delving into the chance discovery, the scientific advancements it sparked, and its lasting influence on diagnostic medicine and beyond. Join us to uncover the story of a humble physicist whose curiosity brought the unseen to light and reshaped the course of science.

New surface imaging technology could make ionizing radiation a thing of the past in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients. A team of researchers from HSS is learning how to accurately and reliably correlate EOS radiographic data with 3D topographic scanning data obtained from a highly precise 3D-camera system. Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery Chief Roger Widmann, MD, and Howard Hillstrom, PhD, Director of the Leon Root, MD Motion Analysis Laboratory at HSS, describe what makes this research so exciting.
