[A radiation hygiene assessment of the working conditions of angiography specialists working using image converters and x-ray TV sets].
Ever-growing bulk of medical equipment used in major health centres with consequent increase in the volume of the angiocardiographic procedures performed, result into greater dosages gained by the medical personnel involved. In this connection, the major dosage-forming factors in different professional medical groups were evaluated. The head, hands and feet were defined as "the critical zones" for angiographic unit personnel. The only possible way of protecting hands was proposed--by means of shortening the time of irradiation, e. i. by establishing hygienic standards for angiographic procedures and operations.
