DESCRIPTION:Title: "Assessing Doses to Contaminated Wounds."\n\nAbstract\nI
 n an operational setting\, a special occupational skin dose limit for loca
 lized exposures is set at 500 mSv y-1. This dose is to be averaged over an
 y 1 cm2 area of exposed skin\, regardless of the actual area exposed\, at 
 the nominal depth of nominal depth 70 μm. This lecture addresses practica
 l aspects of evaluating the extent\, location\, and quantity of radioactiv
 e material in and around a wound for the purposes of directing medical car
 e rather than regulation-based record keeping. Sources of uncertainty asso
 ciated with in-vivo measurements of wound activity\, their impact on dosim
 etry and medical decision making\, and techniques for accounting for these
  sources of error are also discussed. Cases involving contaminated injurie
 s involving fission-activation products and transuranic radionuclides are 
 reviewed to emphasize the unique aspects of the care and treatment of cont
 aminated wounds.\n\nBio\nJason Davis is a health physicist with the Radiat
 ion Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS) Medical Team. He i
 s responsible for responding to calls for radiation emergency assistance\,
  performing internal/external radiation dose assessments as part of medica
 l response\, development/delivery of REAC/TS continuing medical education 
 (CME) materials\, and assisting with HP integration of the REAC/TS Cytogen
 etic Biodosimetry Laboratory into radiation incident response.\n\nWith mor
 e than 17 years of experience in radiation protection\, diagnostic medical
  physics\, emergency response\, and internal dosimetry\, Davis’s primary
  focus at REAC/TS is the integration of health physics into the medical ma
 nagement of radiation events. He and the REAC/TS team provide multiple con
 sultations each year as part of the REAC/TS 24/7 response service\, provid
 ing practical guidance to health care professionals and concerned individu
 als worldwide. Prior to REAC/TS\, Davis’s experience included reconstruc
 tion of doses for former radiation workers\, radiological engineering and 
 dosimetry oversight\, and quality assurance and patient protection in diag
 nostic and therapeutic applications of radiation.\n\nDavis is certified in
  the comprehensive practice of health physics by the American Board of Hea
 lth Physics. He received a master of science in health physics from the Un
 iversity of Nevada\, Las Vegas in 2008 and was awarded his doctorate in ap
 plied physics by Idaho State University in 2014. He is an active member of
  the Health Physics Society and is currently serving on the program commit
 tee\, helping to organize the Society’s annual technical conference.
