Integration of the Diagnostic Radiological Health Sciences Learning Laboratory films into a radiology elective for medical students.

The basic Diagnostic Radiological Health Sciences Learning Laboratory (ACR Teaching File) consists of 5000 films (1400 cases). This educational system was developed under contract with the Bureau of Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration and made available by the American College of Radiology. We report our experience with our own course and the ACR Teaching File for medical student teaching. For 24 of 75 students, the ACR Teaching File provided the basic core film material during a fourth-year elective clerkship. We compared the ACR Teaching File films with our own film material when used in similar teaching circumstances. ACR Teaching File films, when combined with established teaching methods, proved to be satisfactory for medical student teaching.

Radiological health; evaluation of radiation exposure in diagnostic radiology examinations; availability of draft recommendations--FDA. Notice.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announces the availability for public review and comment of draft recommendations on evaluation of radiation exposure in diagnostic radiology examinations, prepared by FDA's National Center for Devices and Radiological Health (NCDRH). In addition to the draft recommendations, FDA is making available background information, rationale, and NCDRH's response to comments that were received on a notice of inquiry regarding the need for and content of such recommendations. FDA is also encouraging private groups and individuals to join in the research efforts needed to develop further technique/exposure guidance and suggests a number of principles to be followed in these efforts so all interested parties may achieve consistent and useful results. Final recommendations, when developed, will be published as a technical report in NCDRH's radiation recommendation series.

A dental radiologic health laboratory teaching method.

The School of Dental Medicine at Tufts University has given new direction to the understanding of radiologic health through a program in which all students participate in some laboratory activities directly related to the problems of radiologic health in dental practice. This article presents an explanation of the background of this program and the experiments performed and discusses the interest in the program and its effect on the dental students. The laboratory program described is held for 3 1/2 hours on Wednesday afternoons at the Dental School, since this is a period of minimum patient load in the Radiology Department. The course is presented for third-year dental students who already have takin a lecture course in the fundamentals and techniques of radiology and have received training in the proper procedures for taking radiographs. The program is designed as a series of experiments dealing with machine output, filtration, collimation, exposure factors, scatter radiation, film density, patient protection, and shielding. The students are introduced to various radiation-detection instruments and given the opportunity to use these instruments to measure output and scatter-radiation levels under varying conditions. The laboratory teaching method presented can also be reprogrammed for different group sizes and time schedules.

The Center for Devices and Radiological health: an update.

At a recent medical device conference, Dr. David Feigal, the Director of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) stated that one-third of the CDRH staff will retire in five years. This is only one of many challenges that the Center faces.This article discusses key factors shaping current FDA device policies and programmes, the CDRH strategic plan, the continuing importance of the standards programme, and CDRH harmonisation activities.

RADIATION PROTECTION IN CANADA: RADIOBIOLOGICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH RESEARCH IN CANADA.

A recent survey was carried out with respect to radiobiological and radiological health projects in Canada. Letters of inquiry, followed by two questionnaires, were sent out to every institution where radiation research was likely to have been undertaken. Approximately 75% of those contacted replied. Of the total of 200 studies, 84% were classified as biological and medical studies, the remaining 16% as environmental radiation studies. Responses to the inquiry stressed the inadequacy of the present governmental budget for radiation research, the need for higher salaries for research workers, and the necessity of a more intensive teaching program for technicians and professional personnel. The granting of longer-term grants, rather than annually renewable grants, is urged.

Radiological health attitudes of college students.

The purpose of this study was to measure and evaluate attitudes of college students regarding various aspects of radiological health hazards. The attitudes surveyed were related to controversial issues such as nuclear power plant operations, color television sets, microwave ovens and genetic effects from medically related x-ray exposure.

Delegations of authority and organization; Center for Devices and Radiological Health--FDA. Final rule.

The Commissioner of Food and Drugs is redelegating authorities to certain officials of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) to temporarily suspend premarket approval applications and to recall devices in the event those devices would cause serious adverse consequences to health or death. These authorities were given to the FDA by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990.

Delegations of authority and organization; Center for Devices and Radiological Health. Food and Drug Administration, HHS. Final rule.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the regulations for delegations of authority to reflect redelegations to other officials within the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) pertaining to: Certifying true copies and using the Department seal, disclosing official records, issuing reports of minor violations, and medical device reporting procedures. This amendment is intended to reflect those redelegations.
