radiological health

Radiological health focuses on understanding and managing the effects of radiation on the human body. It involves ensuring that exposure to ionizing radiation—used in medical imaging, power generation, and industry—is kept within safe limits to prevent harm. Professionals in this field assess risks, implement safety protocols, and monitor environments to protect people and the environment from excessive radiation. While radiation can be beneficial for diagnostics and treatment, too much exposure can cause tissue damage or increase cancer risk. Overall, radiological health aims to balance the benefits of radiation use with effective safety measures to minimize health risks.
