8 RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY POLICY ON STUDENT PREGNANCIES As a pregnant student radiographer you may be exposed to a minimal amount of radiation. The following guidelines were made to protect you and your baby. Your gestational dose will be monitored closely and will be limited to 500 millirem for the entire pregnancy. It is your choice to declare or not declare your pregnancy. 1. Declaration of student pregnancy is voluntary. Students are advised to inform the program director, IN WRITING, of their pregnancy as soon as possible and include the estimated conception date and estimated due date. 2. General radiography assignments will be allowed. During pregnancy, the time spent in fluoroscopy, surgery and on portables, will be carefully controlled. 3.

If the student declares the pregnancy, a second radiation monitor will be provided to be worn at waist level under the lead apron. This monitor will be identified as the fetal dose monitor. 5. The student's radiation exposure will be continuously monitored to insure that the maximum permissible dose of 500mR during the nine months is not exceeded. 6. When the program director is notified that the student is pregnant, the monthly radiation report will be discussed by the program director and the student. 7. If the student exceeds the maximum gestational dose, she will be withdrawn from all clinical courses for the remainder of her pregnancy.
