1 Radiation Protection in Radiotherapy Safety Guide Dr. Roslyn Drummond
2 Radiotherapy The branch of clinical medicine which uses ionising radiation,either alone or in combination with other modalities,for the treatment of patients with cancer or other diseases. It includes responsibility for the diagnosis, treatment, follow up and supportive care of the patient as an integral of the multidisciplinary management of patients
3 ARPANSA in regulation of ionising radiation usage is ONLY concerned with RADIATION PROTECTION aspects of radiotherapy.
4
5 Potential for Harm from Therapeutic Radiation Exposure to: Those who benefit from the treatment (the patient) Health care staff Other staff Members of the public

7 Safety Guide Practice specific guidance Information to assist in achieving levels of protection mandated in the Code NOT mandatory Highly recommended
8 Code of Practice Radiation Protection in the Medical Applications of Ionising Radiation Radiation Protection Principles Justification Optimisation Dose Limits Responsibilities 1. Responsible Person 2. Medical Practitioner 3. Operator (Person administering the radiation ) ( Radiation Oncology Medical Physicist) (Radiation Safety Officer)
9 Justification Two Levels: 1. Practice justified in principle 2. Individual case justified Special Cases: Pregnant or potentially pregnant Children with cancer
10
11 Optimisation of Protection for The Code of Practice States Medical Exposures Equipment and methods must be selected to ensure that radiation administered to a patient for: (b) therapeutic purposes; (i) is consistent with the intended radiotherapeutic purpose of the exposure: and (ii) will achieve the required dose(s) to the target tissue(s) with doses to non-target tissues as low as reasonably practical.
12 Optimisation in Radiotherapy Equals Attention to detail of all aspects of treatment planning and treatment delivery
