Abstract

Patients and healthcare professionals in numerous fields, such as radiology, interventional cardiology, and surgery, are concerned about radiation safety. Healthcare workers’ cumulative radiation exposures from diagnostic imaging modalities such computed tomography, mammography, and nuclear imaging are negligible. However, patients and medical staff alike are at danger from any radiation exposure.
