Objective:To evaluate the radiation dose to the injured persons in a radiological accident, provide the guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of radiation injury, and provide the basis for determination of the level of radiological accident.Method:Firstly, the air-absorbed dose rates at 206 locations surrounding a X-ray device were measured by using LiF (Mg, Cu, P) thermoluminescence detectors and self-made radiation field measuring frames. Secondly, the spatial distribution of radiation level was obtained by fitting the inverse square law between absorbed dose rate and distance, which is used as the basis of dose estimation. Finally, based on the actual working conditions of injured operators, a parameter calculation method was proposed for estimating hand skin absorbed dose.Results:The air-absorbed dose rate surrounding X-ray beam outlet was higher than 1.0 mGy/h. The maximum air-absorbed dose rate value in the space of within 200 cm outside X-ray beam outlet was 262 μGy/h and the minimum value was 2.1 μGy/h, 2 orders of magnitude higher than environmental background level. During normal operation, the total absorbed doses to the hand skin of two injured female operators were 36.9 and 16.9 Gy, respectively. During extreme operation, the hand skin-received total absorbed doses to the two operators were 85.2 and 38.9 Gy, respectively. Under the occupational health standard GBZ 106-2020, the two persons had acute radiation skin injury of grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ on their hands.Conclusions:The results of hand skin exposure doses provide effective support for diagnosis and treatment of radiation injuries and for the determination of radiological accident level. The method used in radiation field reconstruction and dose estimation mentioned in this study can provide reference for the treatment in the similar radiological accident.
