皮肤的暴露在辐射防护中是重要的,因为作为身体最表面的器官,它通常可以从外部照射中接收最高的吸收剂量。它也是所有器官中辐射诱发癌症发病率风险系数最高的器官(尽管死亡率很低)。特别是在过去15年中,ICRP和NCRP能够根据大量的放射生物学、临床和流行病学数据确定皮肤照射的剂量限值。综述了辐射防护中皮肤剂量限制的一些主要进展和一些尚未解决的问题。
Exposure of the skin is important in radiological protection because, as the most superficial organ of the body, it can often receive the highest absorbed dose from an external exposure. It also has the highest radiation-induced cancer incidence risk factor of any organ (although mortality is very low). The ICRP and NCRP have, particularly over the past 15 y, been able to set dose limits for the exposure of the skin on the basis of an extensive body of radiobiological, clinical and epidemiological data. Some of the main advances in skin dose limitation in radiological protection and some of the remaining unresolved issues are reviewed.
