👉 Radioprotection refers to the ability of medical radiation sources and equipment to protect people from serious or life-threatening effects when they are exposed to them. This protection is achieved through several mechanisms, including shielding, dosimetry, and exposure monitoring. The main goal of radioprotection is to ensure that patients receive adequate doses of radiation without causing harm. This can be achieved by using appropriate shielding materials and measuring the dose to ensure compliance with national and international regulations or guidelines on radiation protection in healthcare
