Implementation Of Patient Exposure Limits By A State Radiological Health Program

Due to an avid interest to reduce unnecessary patient exposure, the Illinois Department of Public Health developed exposure limits for certain medical and dental radiographic examinations. These limits were determined by evaluating and analyzing actual patient exposure measurements conducted at medical and dental radiographic facilities throughout the state. A tremendous range of exposures existed for the same examination, and it became evident that patients were being needlessly overexposed to radiation. Marked decreases in exposure have resulted since the adoption of these limits as a regulatory method to reduce unnecessary patient exposure.
