Radiology Safety Measures

Radiology safety measures are practices designed to protect patients, healthcare workers, and the environment from unnecessary exposure to radiation during medical imaging. Key measures include using the lowest effective radiation dose, maintaining a safe distance from the radiation source, and using protective equipment like lead aprons. Regular maintenance and calibration of imaging machines ensure they function correctly. Staff follow strict protocols to minimize risks, and patients are informed about the procedures to understand their benefits and potential hazards. Overall, these measures help ensure imaging is both safe and effective for diagnosing and treating health conditions.
