Culminating Assessment
You are the radiology assistant in the local dental office. You have received reports from your badge
monitoring company that in the last 6 months there has been an increase in exposure to radiation for
two employees, Kathy, the receptionist, and Debbie, the hygienist. Your job is to analyze one day of
patient radiographs to determine the possible points of exposure that perpetuated this increase. You
will verbally present your analysis to your co-workers, by presenting a pictorial representation (charts,
graph, etc.) illustrating each area of the office affected, and identify the corresponding action that
might have contributed to increase exposure for these two employees. You will be judged on the
application of your knowledge of radiation safety and monitoring, and a peer review on your ability to
verbally and pictorially communicate your analysis effectively.
