Transcript of Course on Radiological Protecion
Overview of the Course CurriculumProf. Lidija Lincender, MD, PhD
IntroductionRadiological Protection is an obligatory
course for two sections at the Faculty of Health Studies:Radiological technologySanitary engineering
The course covers both, theoretical lectures and practical exercises
Aim of the SubjectThe aim of the Radiological Protection course
is to prepare students for work with the sources of ionising radiation, and to introduce them to dangers of radiation.
During the classes student receives theoretical as well as practical knowledge on the matters of radiation protection for patients and professionals in diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy.
Theory and practiceRadiological technology section has this
subject during 2 semesters, with15 classes of theory15 classes of practice each semester
Sanitary engineering section covers this subject in one semester30 classes of theory15 classes of practice
LecturersThe theoretical lectures during this class is
covered by prof. Lidija Lincender, MD, PhD while practical exercises with the support of medical physicists working at the Clinical Centre.
The lectures and practical exercises are presented at the Clinical Centre of Sarajevo University.
Curriculum (1)The course curriculum covers following
subjects:Sources, properties and types of ionising
radiation;Non-ionising radiation: properties and effectsOccupational exposure from the sources of
ionising radiationExposure in diagnostic radiology
Curriculum (2)Prevention of unwanted exposures to patients
and professionalsTypes of radiation protectionLaws and regulations on radiation protectionPersonal protection during the work with the
sources ionising radiationMaximum allowed risk from ionising radiationProtection of radiological equipment and x-ray
cabinets
Curriculum (3)Chemical and biological protectionRadiation protection during patient
radiographiesRadiation protection during patient
fluoroscopiesRadiation protection during angiographyRadiation protection in dental medicineRadiation protection in radiotherapyRadiation protection during interventional
radiography
Curriculum (4)Protection during the work with radio-isotopesProtection from the sources of non-ionising
radiation (microwave, laser, ultrasound)Protection of population from natural sources of
radioactivity and during accidental situationsRadiological contamination and
decontaminationOther risks in radiology (contrast media,
electrical shock, suffocation, and first aid during those events)
