Online Guest lecture on Personal Monitoring Devices in Radiology
Event Date: 24-04-2024
The Department of Radiology at the School of Allied Health Sciences, Galgotias University, successfully organized a guest lecture on the crucial topic "Personal Monitoring Devices in Radiology" on Thursday, 24th April 2025. This highly informative and interactive session was delivered by Subhash Chandra Yadav, Associate Professor at Universal Medical College Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Nepal. The event was conducted online through Zoom, ensuring participation from a wide range of students, faculty members, and professionals.
The event was convened by Prof. (Dr.) Shagun Agarwal, Dean, School of Allied Health Sciences, Galgotias University. The guest speaker was warmly welcomed by the Programme Chair, Mr. Amit Pratap Singh Chouhan, who highlighted the significance of radiation safety and monitoring practices in the healthcare profession. His welcome address set the tone for a session focused on the importance of responsible health practices, innovation, and sustainability, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production). A notable feature of the session was the active participation of BMRIT (Bachelor of Medical Radiology and Imaging Technology) students. Their engagement through questions and discussion reflected their deep interest in learning about radiation safety measures and practical healthcare applications.
During the session, Subhash Chandra Yadav explained the different types of personal monitoring devices used in radiology departments to measure radiation exposure levels. He provided detailed insights into Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs), Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) Dosimeters, Pocket Dosimeters, and Electronic Personal Dosimeters. The lecture highlighted the scientific principles behind each device, proper usage methods, the significance of correct placement, and the necessity of maintaining accurate monitoring records to ensure the safety of healthcare workers. Following the lecture, an interactive Q&A session provided participants, especially the BMRIT students, with an opportunity to clarify their doubts and explore real-world scenarios related to personal monitoring in radiology. Questions ranged from the technical calibration of dosimeters to policy measures for enhancing workplace safety. Mr. Yadav's detailed and thoughtful responses enriched the learning experience for all attendees.
