According to the X-ray, there is radiation to wear protective clothing

Do you wear protective clothing when you take X-rays? Recently, a hospital in Nanjing was fined $10,000 for not telling patients to wear protective clothing . Yesterday, reporters interviewed nearly 100 citizens in Xi'an and found that over 90% of the citizens did not know about this requirement, and everyone said frankly that X-ray films did not pass through protective clothing .

The patient was not given 10,000 yuan in protective clothing. In May of last year, foreign children visited the pediatric department of a hospital in Nanjing. Doctors suspected that they had pulmonary inflammation. It is recommended to take a chest radiograph. Beginning this year, due to repeated illnesses, the monthly and monthly parents took pictures taken in the country and asked foreign doctors abroad. The doctors asked whether the children had been protected when they filmed. The parents of the month and month were surprised. “We never heard of radiographs. Also need protection."
Foreign doctors said that children are more sensitive to radiation, especially in the reproductive system, thyroid, etc., and may cause cancer. Moon and the family said that when the children were first seen, the hospital did not have any reminder signs at all. To this end, they called to complain to the Nanjing Municipal Health Surveillance Department. A survey conducted by the Nanjing Health Supervision Institute found that the hospital did not have a logo and did not alert the public to radiation risks. In the end, the hospital was fined 10,000 yuan.

It is reported that the radiation hazards of the subjects are reported. According to Ministry of Health's Order No. 46 and the “Regulations on Radiological Diagnosis and Treatment” implemented in 2006, it is stipulated that the medical institutions should conduct workplace interventional radiology and other X-ray image diagnosis and should be equipped with protective equipment for workers. And the subject’s protective equipment. When staff perform medical irradiation on the subject, they should observe the principles of medical irradiation justification and radiation protection optimization, have clear medical purposes, and strictly control the dose of exposure; they should conduct shielding and shielding on sensitive organs and tissues near the irradiation point. The subject’s radiation effects on health were informed in advance. Yesterday, Liu Kechang, director of the Radiation Health Surveillance Division of the Shaanxi Provincial Health Inspection Office, said: “This requires medical institutions to be equipped with protective clothing. Subjects must inform radiation-related hazards before filming. If the patient takes protective clothing, the hospital must provide it. The notice may be posted, verbal, or the hospital will be punished."
However, Liu Kechang stated that there are only a few complaints from the public. The main reason is that the people's awareness of this provision is not high, and there is not much knowledge of radiation hazards.
According to reports, conventional X-rays include barium meal radiography, limb bone slices, chest radiographs, cervical vertebrae, and lumbar vertebrae. Chest thorax, CT examination, molybdenum target examination need to be protected, protective clothing, including protective caps, lead clothing, lead skirts, protective collar and even protective glasses.

Hospital radiological inspections generally violated the law. Yesterday the reporter interviewed nearly 100 citizens, and over 90% of the citizens said they did not know this rule and admitted that the radiographs did not pass through protective clothing . In addition, the reporter visited a number of medical institutions in Xi'an and found that radiation inspections were generally illegal.
Yesterday afternoon, there was an eye-catching “Attentional Ionizing Radiation” sign on the door of the X-Final in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University. There was also information on the radiation hazards of pregnant women and infants. However, when the patient was examined, the medical personnel seldom carried out radiation hazards. Informed that more than 20 patients were examined on the same day, and only two children were given protective clothing when they were examined. The rest of the patients were not dressed, and the doctors did not suggest. Other hospitals have similar situations. Some hospital radiation suits have almost become furnishings, and some even have no radiation hazard warnings.
In this regard, Yonggyeong, deputy director of the Department of Medical Imaging at the First Affiliated University of Jiao Tong University, frankly stated that in accordance with regulations, it is actually necessary to inform patients before wearing a protective suit , but it is actually very difficult. “If every patient is informed, at least 10 per person Minutes of time, but the hospital receives nearly a thousand patients every day, so it can only actively protect key populations such as pregnant women and children."
Ordinary people do not need protection? Qiang Yonggan said, “A X-ray is only a few seconds, and the radiation dose is 0.04 millisieverts/second. The radiation dose per person per year is 2.4 millisieverts, so even if there is no protection, there is no harm to the health of adults. !”
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Shaanxi Provincial Health Supervision Office also stated that radiation damage is a cumulative process. Clinically, the incidence of chronic radiation diseases is extremely low, but the public should still be vigilant and strengthen their awareness of self-protection. If hospital violations are found, Can complain to the competent authority.
