What is minimum distance from x-ray technition to x-ray tube?
Hey mr.answerman:
The 3 cardinal rules of radiation protection are time, distance and shielding. Distance does make a big difference.
As far as the cord will allow?
An X-ray tech is not protected by distance. A tech is protected by a organize wall, and can view the lenient through a lead chalice.
JessiesGirl has it right on, contained by fact distance greatly affects the exposure one recieves.
See 'The Inverse Square Law'
"The intensity (or illuminance or irradiance) of wispy or other linear waves radiating from a point source (energy per element of area erect to the source) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source so an object (of alike size) twice as far away, receives individual 1/4 the energy (in one and the same time period)." (source = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/inverse-squ...
While there is no set surrounded by stone minimum that I know of, techs usually follow the ALARA Principle, "As Low As Reasonably Achievable". see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/alara...
That is to say as much distance as you can and still ensure a standard diagnostic image. (Being close by for an unstable tolerant, within verbs to visualize motion or other disparities, etc.)
It is 6 feet, but they say aloud never assume any distance is safe
yes! it is the inverse square ruling. the best shield for radiation is distance. as you get farther away the photons from the x-ray enfeeble and are less hazardous. the recommended distance is 6 feet and explicitly the distance of the cords!
6 ft.
