- Occupational Medical X-Ray Dose Reconstruction for DOE Sites
PDF 189 KB (22 pages)
Document Number: ORAUT-PROC-0061 Rev. 3
About this Document: Provides direction for assignment of organ dose from medical X-ray exams based on TBD
information. This latest revision removes the LAT chest doses for Ames Laboratory in Notes to Table A-1 which are now included in a revised Ames Site Profile;
to add guidance for skin dose for PA and LAT chest for post 1970; to better define dose to various areas of skin from PFG, PA and
LAT chest pre-1970 and lumbar spine procedures; to remove Table A-1, the quick reference table, and Table B-1, the records
availability table; to move the responsibilities of the "subject expert - external dosimetry" to the "dose reconstruction group managers." Previous revisions that were incorporated into the document:
(1) Includes additional sites with approved TBDs, new guidance on X-rays for locations of the skin, and additional X-ray procedures
(2) Updates Attachment C to include approved Request for Direction or Operational Change for X-Ray dose assignment to the face and to include updates based on current TBD revisions. Includes recently approved TBDs, change column headings, and alignment of x-ray procedures to align with new headings in Attachment A.

- Technical Documents Used
in Dose Reconstruction
About these Documents: Technical documents are general working
documents that provide historic background information and guidance to assist
in the preparation of dose reconstructions at particular sites or categories of
sites. They will be revised in the event additional relevant information is
obtained about the affected site(s). These documents may be used to assist NIOSH
staff in the completion of the individual work required for each dose
reconstruction.

Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health Comments on Policy, Procedure, and Guidance Documents
The Advisory Board conducts technical reviews of various DCAS policy, procedure, and guidance documents that relate to dose reconstruction. The Board's technical support contractor assists in the review process. The purpose of the reviews is to assess the scientific and technical quality of the methods used in dose reconstruction. They also help identify any deficiencies that could have a negative effect on the results or the dose reconstruction process. These reviews can be found on the Advisory Board: Reports from the Technical Support Contractor page of our Web site.
When the reviews are complete and all issues have been resolved, the Board prepares a brief summary of the resolutions. The summaries help the public understand the results of the technical reviews. These summaries can be found on the Advisory Board: Technical Review Summaries from the Technical Support Contractor page.
