DOI: 10.1002/acm2.13776
Abstract: Abstract Objective Cesium‐131 brachytherapy is an adjunct for brain tumor treatment, offering potential clinical and radiation protection advantages over other isotopes including iodine‐125. We present evidence‐based radiation safety recommendations from an initial experience with Cs‐131… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6498/ac0df4
Abstract: Epidemiological studies of those exposed occupationally to ionising radiation offer an important opportunity to directly check the assumptions underlying the international system of radiological protection against low-level radiation exposures. Recent nuclear worker studies, notably the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6498/ac7aec
Abstract: Vascular x-ray guided interventions are complex and may result in high occupational doses to ionising radiation if staff do not take appropriate actions to minimise their exposure. In this prospective intervention study, ten staff members… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6498/ad9f73
Abstract: In short terms, a society’s available resources are finite and must be prioritised. The more resources that are spent on radiological protection, the lesser resources are available for other needs. The ALARA principle states that… read more here.
