ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARDS IN RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENTS

WILLIAM F. BARRY JR. M.D.1, C. FRANK STARMER B.S.E.E.1, ROBERT E. WHALEN M.D.1, and HENRY D. McINTOSH M.D.1

New electrical shock hazards have been introduced into radiology with the advent of angiographic studies. Certain types of electronic monitoring devices or electrical power equipment may introduce additional hazards. Low voltages and low currents are potentially dangerous to patients under these circumstances. Departments of radiology in which these studies are performed should be surveyed with these low current levels as a standard. The majority of problems associated with electric shock hazards and angiography can be solved by the use of an adequate grounding system within the angiographic room.
