Radiation Testing |
When does it need testing? |
|
There is often confusion between radiation testing and servicing.
We like to equate the Radiation Testing to a vehicle M.O.T. It is a legal requirement to get your vehicle M.O.T'd It is also a legal requirement to ensure your x ray equipment is tested to ensure it is safe, operates correctly and the environment where it is used is suitable. An M.O.T and vehicle servicing are separate jobs. Radiation testing and servicing your x ray equipment are also two separate tasks. |
Intra oral, Panoral, Cephalometric x ray sets Every 3 years ( or if your x ray unit is relocated or has had a replacement timer/ tubehead. ) 3D Cone Beam CT and Hand Held x ray units Every year |
What's included? |
Check x ray exposures and all safety features/warning devices
i.e. all shielding, collimation and lamps. Carry out an Environmental Risk Assessment of the area where the x ray equipment then provided you with a report and a diagram of the room. The diagram would show the controlled area, main beam direction, operator position, isolator location and other requirements. The report would provide recommendations and any actions required. The comprehensive testing of 3D Cone Beam CT machines require specialist test equipment. The testing and evaluation of the results will take at least 4 hours. Hand held x ray units require the same tests as wall mount x rays with additional leakage/safety tests. |
