radiation dose assessment

Radiation dose assessment measures the amount of ionizing radiation a person receives from sources like medical procedures, environmental exposure, or work activities. It considers factors such as the type of radiation, duration of exposure, and distance from the source. The goal is to evaluate potential health risks and ensure exposures remain within safe limits set by regulatory authorities. This assessment helps protect individuals by identifying and minimizing unnecessary radiation exposure, supporting informed decision-making in healthcare, industry, and environmental management.
