Fundamental to radiation protection is the avoidance or reduction of dose using the simple protective measures of time, distance and shielding. The duration of exposure should be limited to that necessary, the distance from the source of radiation should be maximised, and the source or the target shielded wherever possible.
29 mar 2020 · Radiation protection is based on the three fundamental principles of justification of exposure, keeping doses (of ionizing radiation) as low as reasonably achievable (optimization) and the application of dose limits.
X-rays allow the radiologist to see the structures in your body in very fine detail. X-ray exams provide valuable information about your health and help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis. Your doctor may use x-rays to help place tubes or other devices in your body or to treat disease.
22 maj 2023 · Radiation protection aims to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure with a goal to minimize the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. In the medical field, ionizing radiation has become an inescapable tool used for the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of medical conditions.
28 lis 2023 · This chapter outlines fundamental radiation protection principles and concepts essential for biomedical engineering technology. First, it identifies the bioeffects of exposure to ionizing radiation, encompassing stochastic and deterministic effects.
1 lis 2020 · The aim of radiation protection was stated as prevention of non-stochastic effects and limitation of the probability of stochastic effects to levels deemed to be acceptable. Notable attention was given to identifying and “quantifying” the acceptable level and comparing it with calculable radiation risk levels.
29 sty 2016 · International commission of radiation protection (ICRP) suggested general principles of radiation protection as three key words; justification, optimization and dose limit. Because medical exposure of patients has unique considerations, it is not appropriate to apply dose limits or dose constraints.
