Addressing the principles of radiation safety, the risks associated with ionizing radiation exposure, and the importance of implementing safety measures for both patients and healthcare professionals.
Radiation Safety and Protection 1. What is Radiation? Radiation is the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization. 2. Types of Radiation: Ionizing Radiation: High-energy radiation that has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, creating ions. Non-Ionizing Radiation: Low-energy radiatio...…
