Ensuring radiation safety in medical institutions of the dental profile

Abstract

The analysis of indicators of radiation exposure of medical workers of the dental profile of the Samara region during medical procedures for the period from 2004 to 2019 is carried out in comparison with the quantitative dynamics of X-ray diagnostic studies. The main directions of occupational safety indicators of medical workers of the dental profile when working with X-ray diagnostic equipment have been determined. The purpose was to conduct a comparative analysis of the radiation exposure indicators of medical workers of the dental profile of the Samara region during medical procedures for the period from 2004 to 2019, to characterize the radiation safety of personnel. An analytical work was carried out on the indicators of the average radiation dose of medical workers of the dental profile of the Samara region during medical procedures according to the data of radiation and hygienic certification of the territory of the Samara region for the period from 2004 to 2019. In the framework of this study, the number and demand for X-ray diagnostic procedures in medical institutions of the dental profile among the population. A retrospective analysis of the dynamics of X-ray studies and the values of the average individual dose of radiation for personnel working with X-ray dental devices in 10 large medical institutions of the dental profile of various forms of ownership in the territory of Samara and the Samara region (C1-C10) for the period from 2004 to 2019 was carried out…. on the basis of the annual forms of statistical reporting of the radiation-hygienic passport of the organization (RGPO). The decrease in radiation exposure is due to the replacement of outdated equipment with more modern ones, the transition from film types of research to digital ones, an increase in personnel literacy in the field of radiation safety, which characterizes the improvement of radiation safety indicators for dental personnel in Samara and the Samara region.
