Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results of occupational health monitoring on radiation workers in national medical institutions in 2018. METHODS: Through the National Radiation Health Information Platform Subsystem Occupational Radiation Diseases and Occupational Health Monitoring System, the monitoring data including the overview of radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions, occupational health management, and occupational health examination information across the country were collected for analysis in 2018. RESULTS: In 2018, there were a total of 55 902 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions with 353 141 radiation workers nationwide. The radiation dose monitoring rate on individuals and hospitals was 94.6%(334 222/353 141) and 97.3%(91 051/93 559), respectively. The rate of health examination was 84.6%(298 914/353 141) and 95.4%(87 031/91 244) respectively.The monitoring rate on chromosomal aberration in peripheral blood lymphocytes was 0.3% in radiation workers. The rate of opacity under the posterior lens capsule was 4.3% and the rate of thyroid nodules was 25.7% in interventional radiology and nuclear medicine workers. CONCLUSION:s The personal dose monitoring rate and occupational health examination rate of radiation workers in medical institutions in China are maintained at a relatively high level. However, monitoring attention should also be paid to the analysis of chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes, the examination of eye lens and thyroid gland.
