X-ray protection audit and the cat case

A cat patient in a radiology lab doesn't know if your protection has weak points or leaks. They don't know the audit date or the thickness of the solutions used. But they do know whether you, as a veterinarian, feel safe, and they only react to that.

Radiation safety is, on the one hand, a legal requirement, on the other hand, an investment in your own health - which also means a long and successful veterinary practice - and, on the third hand, a daily sense of comfort thanks to well-organized and documented risk reduction that you deserve.

If you want to have your X-ray protection under control…

Knowledge is key, and an audit provides this. But the real value comes from access to immediate response to any anomalies. During any audit, you may unexpectedly discover that:

• the X-ray beam shows exposure outside the controlled zone,

• an unexpected inclination increases the radiation dose at a floor that is not prepared for it,

• you direct the beam towards a wall that does not have proper protection,

• there is a risk of dose accumulation in the operator's zone,

• Your lab coats were covered with invisible micro-cracks during the research and support of animals of different temperaments,

• fixed covers are inconsistent with the design and require correction,

• lead plates show discontinuities.

And many more. But even this list alone creates the risk of your staff receiving doses directly into the thyroid or bone marrow. Furthermore, the audit results could eliminate the radiology lab from operation until appropriate modernizations are implemented and documented.

If your radiation protection audit has set off alarm bells, you'll need some serious support.

The fastest and most reliable partner in radiation protection is one who solves every problem independently, takes full responsibility for it, and responds flexibly to every challenge.
