- Overview of Brazilian industrial radiography accidents with cutaneous radiation syndrome Camila Moreira Araújo de Lima F. C. A Da Silva Biología Industrial radiography radiological accidents Cutaneous Radiation Syndrome Many of industrial radiological accidents are related to industrial gamma radiography, which makes this practice to have a high potential risk for accidental exposures to ionizing radiation. More than 80 radiological accidents occurred in the world that includes 6 Brazilian accidents with Cutaneous Radiation Syndrome (terminology used in Brazil and Latin America) or Local Radiation Injury (terminology is used in Europe, USA and by IAEA). From 1985 to 2000 five Brazilian accidents happened with 192Ir and one with 60Co radioactives sources. Nineteen members of the public and 8 radiographers were involved. All of them suffered severe hands and fingers injuries. Brazilian accidents were analyzed showing the main causes, the consequences for workers, estimated radiation doses and main lessons learned. This paper describes a detailed summary of each radiological accident in industrial gamma radiography occurred in Brazil. 2018 artículo científico 2319-0612 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=722280829005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7222 Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Proteção Radiológica - SBPR Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences (Brasil) Num.2B Vol.6
