The following data was collected: radiation safety report publication year, brachytherapy unit manufacturer, type and activity of the source that was used, affiliation of the drafter, exposure rate constant, the treatment time used to calculate workload and the HVL values used to calculate shielding design goal values.
The review showed that none of the available methodologies would be adequate to calculate workload for TB, although certain elements of these methodologies can be used.
In order to guarantee the quality of calculation, reflect the characteristic information of scale and control calculating workloads, medium to large grains in the first domain of scale are suitably selected to measure landscape patterns (Zhao et al. 2003).
In the optimization process, the engine physical model is used as a substitute of real engine to generate training data for the SVM and validate the accuracy of the optimization results; SVM, with fast computing speed, undertakes the massive calculating workloads of fitness evaluation on searching the Pareto optimal solutions.
The method of measuring and calculating radiologist workload described in this paper is easily adapted for use in other jurisdictions.
Comhairle used three classes of studies in calculating radiologist workload: Class 1: Plain films 1 point Class 2: Barium studies, US, IVUs, tomograms, etc. 7 points Class 3: CT, nuclear medicine, angio/IR, MRI 24 points.
In 2009, the Faculty of Radiologists of The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) studied the various methods available for calculating radiologist workload, and the uses to which the data obtained was being applied.
Thirdly, in calculating daily workload, we assumed that there were 250 working days in the year, taking into account national holidays.
After checking the monthly data for completeness and conducting quality checks, the central and district teams entered the data into Microsoft Excel to calculate annual workload and subsequently entered the workload information into the WISN software.
In traditional screening, we totaled all patient days to calculate the workload.
