Abstract

The radiation emitted during radiological examinations can be harmful to the human body, but the technique is still used because it is helpful to the patient. Therefore, radiologic examinations must follow radiation protection principles such as justification and optimization, and only minimal required re-examinations should be performed. Proper use of radiation in the medical field can be achieved by proper education of individuals from multiple medical fields.

영상의학 검사에 사용하는 방사선은 인체에 위해할 수 있으나 환자에게 도움이 되기 때문에 사용한다. 따라서 정당화와 최적화와 같은 방사선 방어원칙에 의거한 검사가 시행되어야 하며 필요한 만큼의 재검사만이 시행되어야 한다. 다양한 직종에 그 직종에 맞는 충분한 교육이 이루어져야만 방사선의 적절한 이용이 되리라 기대한다.
