[Intl_DxMedPhys] Are shielding surveys for replacements required?

[Nima Kasraie]

Hi all,

If you replace a fluoro room with a similar model and vendor with no changes to room shielding and walls, do you still need to do a shielding survey, legally speaking?

TJC says yes.

But what about the states?

For example, in Texas, I find no mention of the state regs where they compel a shielding survey for diagnostic X-ray/fluoroscopy rooms. It's not in TAC 289.227, nor any of the adopted rules I could find.

But if the state doesn't ask for it, can they expect a post-installation shielding confirmation-especially for high-dose fluoro rooms-even if that expectation isn't explicitly stated in 227?


I find it hard to accept that the state wouldn't have any specific language on this issue.
