High impact information on Radiologic Health

• Guidelines can be prepared specifically for thyroid cancer therapy patients that are rational and consistent with existing radiologic health standards [1].
• The basic Diagnostic Radiological Health Sciences Learning Laboratory (ACR Teaching File) consists of 5000 films (1400 cases) [2].
• The line agencies with direct radiation responsibilities, including the Department of Energy, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Defense, Food and Drug Administration's Bureau of Radiological Health, and Department of Labor, continue with somewhat contradictory and uncoordinated programs [3].
• A regulatory performance standard for ultrasound therapy equipment has been published by the Bureau of Radiological Health under the authority of The Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 [4].
• The project involved the participation of the USACE Kansas City District, EPA Region 6, and the Texas Bureau of Radiological Health. Field work on the project started in April 2001 and was completed approximately five months later [5].

Associations of Radiologic Health with chemical compounds

• Reviews of these applications are performed in the Division of Clinical Laboratory Devices, Office of Device Evaluation within the Center for Devices and Radiological Health. Most submissions for invasive glucose devices are 510(k) applications [6].
• Radiological health implications of lead-210 and polonium-210 accumulations in LPG refineries [7].
• The School of Dental Medicine at Tufts University has given new direction to the understanding of radiologic health through a program in which all students participate in some laboratory activities directly related to the problems of radiologic health in dental practice [8].
