ALARA: As Low As Reasonably
Achievable.
ALARA is the core concept of
any radiation safety program. "It
applies to all radiological situa-
tions that can give rise to personal
doses, including both occupation-
al and public exposures to direct
and indirect radiation from either
radioactive materials or radiation
producing machines," according
to Tufts University Radiation
Safety Program.
The lower radiation doses were
a key aspect for Greg DeConciliis,
PA-C, CASC, administrator at
Boston Out-Patient Surgical Suites
in Waltham, Mass., when he was
shopping for flat-panel C-arms.
"We're using these machines on
repetitive cases like hand and foot
cases. It's the surgeons and staff
who benefit from as little radia-
tion as possible," says Mr.
DeConciliis.
