Radiation Safety in Veterinary Practices
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Radiologic Health Branch (RHB) oversees radiation safety through enforcement of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations (17 CCR) and periodically inspects veterinary practices with registered radiation-producing machines. Veterinary practices are subject to numerous radiation safety and health laws to ensure that worker exposure to radiation is minimized. This article will highlight some of the regulations that the RHB enforces.
