Abstract

The Quality, Safety, And Regulatory Compliance Of Medical Imaging Modalities Are Closely Related To The Primary Responsibility Of A Medical Physicist, Which Falls Under The Category Of Patient Care. In Order To Accurately Measure Any Physical Amount, A Unit Is Often Required. The International Commission On Radiation Units And Measurement (ICRU) Is Responsible For Conducting Periodic Reviews And Updates Of The Ideas In Radiation Physics That Pertain To Quantities And Their Units. These Concepts Are Essential For The Management Of Radioactive Waste. Within The Work Area, The Radioactive Waste Needs To Be Recognized And Separated Into Several Categories. The Collection Of Solid Radioactive Waste Should Be Done With Garbage Collection Bins That Are Operated By Foot And Have A Polythene Lining That Is Disposable. For The Collection Of Liquid Waste, Polythene Carboys Should Be Used. It Is Strongly Recommended That Radioactive Waste Not Be Collected In Glassware. Before Deciding On The Method Of Disposal, Each Package Is Inspected And Tagged According To The Amount Of Activity Associated With It.
