Spain updates protection against ionizing radiation

Control over ionizing radiation protect specialists from National health system (SNS) achieved new update after Ministry of Health recently created a story and a computer application. This step will allow you to become familiar with the situation of each specialist involved in the diagnostic or therapeutic processes, as well as from the Spanish Society for Radiological Protection (SEPR) emphasizes that from now on Spain “will be able to carry out much more modern managementdurable and flexible to protect workers and has the ability to create statistics, achieve stricter control to promote worker health.

The project presented by Health is seen Fernando SierraVice President of SEPR, as an initiative to offer “modernization The health protection regulation, in force since 1982, required a dosimetric history of work, analyzing their doses based on the work of SNS specialists. After 40 yearsThe specialist emphasizes that a “major update is now available to continue to contribute to the radiological protection of hospitals.”

This tool, which will soon be available to all users, will allow, according to the vice president of SEPR, “ much more modern management, strong and maneuverable. You will be able to access history and dosimetric data healthcare workers with an app built from the ground up to improve security and data protection.”

“Thanks to the new application, records and dosimetric data of medical workers will become available”

For managers of radiological protection of hospitals, the expert notes that “a lot of help is achieved with dosimetric monitoring of exposed personnel, since the data will be at hand on an individual basis and it will be possible to maintain statistics, export data, have stricter control and be able to help in protecting health workers.”

Lens observation – a reality in Spain

As the specialist describes, dosimeters carried by medical personnel “should be periodically checked using controlled and verified procedures Nuclear Safety Council” Sierra recalls that this institution provides data to “radiation protection managers who have responsibilities in this regard.”

“Finally, dosimeters will appear that will officially allow you to control the lens”

Knowledge of these ionizing doses This will allow Spain to “best manage the work of health workers and protect their health, trying to ensure that people are exposed to the least amount of ionizing radiation.” One of the big news that the specialist wants to emphasize is that “finally there will be dosimeters that will officially allow monitoring of crystalwhen until now it was impossible.”
