The Effectiveness of Radiation Protection in Medical Field- A Short Review

Abstract

The growing of X-ray imaging around the world has implication towards radiation protection of medical field. Higher usage in radiation commonly have been seen as a simple workload issue without future challenges. Unfortunately, due to improvement in technology and techniques, it caused the amount of X-ray procedures increase which requiring medical professionals in order to ensure patient who exposed to radiation has maintain their close physical contact. As many processes are complex, risk of severe occupational exposure become higher, thus necessary steps should be considered. It is important to ensure the lower effects of exposure are achievable. If the dosage limit for the lens of the eye is lowered in the near future, additional attention to eye protection may be required. There are many essential elements needed in ensuring medical field especially for X-ray imaging to be more proper and reasonably secured for example education and training in radiation protection.
