Application of atomic law into a practice of radiology assistant

The work of radiologist assistants results from the Act No.13/2002 Coll., Atomic Act, and from executive regulations and must accord with their wording. Practical application of the Act is important especially for radiation protection of patients and medical staff during work with ionizing radiation. The aim of the thesis was to judge from this point of view the radiologist´s activity at my work place in Institution of Imaging Methods in a Teaching Hospital of Saint Anna, Brno. Keeping of legislative rules would confirm their practical applicability and would establish the competency extent of radiologist assistant during performance of his/ her medical job. In methodological process I chose from the text of Atomic Act and from appropriate decrees the parts dealing with radiologist assistant´s activities in a sphere of radiodiagnostics and compared them with their practical keeping. I think, according to results, that radiologist´s work corresponds wording in§7 Radiologist assistant from decree No.424/2004 Coll. Radiologist assistant keeps rules of practical carrying out all treatments stated in §60 Statement on medical irradiation, in§62 Optimalization of radiation protection and in §63 Process of medical irradiation from decree No. 307/202 Coll. Thanks to this thesis I have deepened my knowledge dealing with Atomic Act. My conclusions can serve to radiologist assistants as a basic survey of important rules resulting from Atomic Act that they must keep in accord with these rules
