Title	Radiography Camera Guide Tube Disconnected During Use
Event Description	The following is a synopsis of the report received via email: The quick connect fitting on the guide tube came apart when the source was being cranked out. When the source was cranked out beyond where the end of the guide tube was supposed to be the technicians stopped and tried to crank the source back into the camera. The source rod became stuck because the control cable had become entangled. The RSO (Radiation Safety Officer) was later able to disconnect the source's pigtail, unkink the control cable, reconnect the guide tube, and reconnect the control cable to retrieve the source. The maximum doses received were 114 mRem whole body and 260 mRem to the right hand. Camera: model SPEC-300 with model G-70 source assembly Source: 88 Ci Co-60
