Annals of ICRP 2009 №39(6), Elsevier, 2009. - 111 p. The Commission has based its approach to environmental protection on the use of a set of Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) as the basis for relating exposure to dose, and dose to radiation effects, for different types of animals and plants in an internally consistent manner. The results of this approach have, to date,...

Annals of ICRP v. 40 N (2-5) 2010 This report gives fluence to dose conversion coefficients for both effective dose and organ absorbed doses for various types of external exposures, consistent with the 2007 Recommendations of the ICRP (ICRP Publication 103,...

Annals of ICRP v. 40 No 6, Elsiver, 2010. 102 p. An increasing number of medical specialists are using fluoroscopy outside imaging departments, but there has been general neglect of radiological protection coverage of fluoroscopy machines used outside imaging departments. Lack of radiological protection training of those working with fluoroscopy outside imaging departments can...

Annals of the ICRP. Ed. by C.H. Clement. Amsterdam — New York: Elsevier, 2012. — 325 p. This report provides a review of early and late effects of radiation in normal tissues and organs with respect to radiation protection. It was instigated following a recommendation in Publication 103, and it provides updated estimates of ‘practical’ threshold doses for tissue injury defined at...

Annals of ICRP v. 42 No 4, Elsiver, 2013. 130 p. This report is a compilation of dose coefficients for intakes of radionuclides by workers and members of the public, and conversion coefficients for use in occupational radiological protection against external radiation from Publications 68, 72, and 74. It serves as a comprehensive reference for dose coefficients based on the...

Radiological protection in paediatric diagnostic and interventional radiology. ICRP Publication 121. Ann. ICRP 42(2). Authors on behalf of ICRP P-L. Khong, H. Ringertz, V. Donoghue, D. Frush, M. Rehani, K. Appelgate, R. Sanchez Abstract - Paediatric patients have a higher average risk of developing cancer compared with adults receiving the same dose. The longer life expectancy...

ICRP Publication 139. Ann. ICRP 47(2). Authors on behalf of ICRP. P. Ortiz Lopez, L.T. Dauer, R. Loose, C.J. Martin, D.L. Miller, E. Vaño, M. Doruff, R. Padovani, G. Massera, C. Yoder. Abstract - In recent publications, such as Publications 117 and 120, the Commission provided practical advice for physicians and other healthcare personnel on measures to protect their patients...

Use of dose quantities in radiological protection. ICRP Publication 147. Ann. ICRP 50(1). Authors on behalf of ICRP J.D. Harrison, M. Balonov, F. Bochud, C. Martin, H-G. Menzel, P. Ortiz-Lopez, R. Smith-Bindman, J.R. Simmonds, R. Wakeford Abstract - The central dose quantities used in radiological protection are absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and effective dose. The concept of...

Annals of ICRP v. 24, No 1-3, Pergamon, 1994. 462 p. This report describes a revision of the model used in ICRP Publication 30 to calculate radiation doses to the respiratory tract of workers resulting from the intake of airborne radionuclides. This revision was motivated by the availability of increased knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory tract and of...

Annals of ICRP, v. 26, No 3/4, Pergamon, 1996. 205 p. This report summarises the work of a Joint Task Group on Dose-Related Quantities for Radiological Protection against External Radiation established in the latter part of 1991. This group was appointed by both the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the International Commission on Radiation Units...

ICRP, 2000. Pregnancy and Medical Radiation. ICRP Publication 84. Ann. ICRP 30 (1). This Publication concerns the management of pregnant patients as well as pregnant workers in medical establishments where ionising radiation is used. Thousands of pregnant patients and medical radiation workers are exposed to radiation each year. Lack of knowledge is responsible for great...

Avoidance of Radiation Injuries from Medical Interventional Procedures. ICRP Publication 85. Ann. ICRP 30 (2). Abstract - Interventional radiology (fluoroscopically-guided) techniques are being used by an increasing number of clinicians not adequately trained in radiation safety or radiobiology. Many of these interventionists are not aware of the potential for injury from these...

Annals of the ICRP v. 31, No 1-3, Pergamon, 2001. Corrected Version, May 2002. 511 p The present report gives dose coefficients for the offspring (embryo, fetus, and newborn child) of female members of the public and female workers following intakes of selected radioisotopes of the 31 elements for which age-dependent biokinetic models are given in Publications 56, 67, 69, and...

Annals of ICRP v. 34 No. 3-4, Elsiver, 2004. 279 p. In the present report, ICRP provides information on radiation doses to the infant due to intakes of radionuclides in maternal milk.
