Radiation Protection Program

 

As required by the "North Carolina Regulations For Protection Against Radiation" rule .1603 Radiation Protection Programs.  Each licensee or registrant shall develop, document, and implement a radiation protection program.

The registrant (Radiation Safety Officer) shall annually review the radiation protection program's content and implementation.

The following reference guides may be used to aid in developing the facility written radiation protection program.  The Radiation Safety Program is a unique document based upon the scope of activities provided by each practice.

Additional reference guides that may be helpful in development of the written safety program are located:  http://ncradiation.net/xray/reference.htm

A good Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) program is recommended to produce quality images and optimized processing conditions.  QA and QC help to minimize the need for unnecessary retakes and appropriate exposure factors when processes are optimized. 

To be considered an excellent complete Safety Program the facility would include its QA and QC procedures.
