Most diagnostic tests conducted in a Radiology Department expose patients using ionising radiation that are considered to be generally safe. There is no doubt that any radiation dose implicated could produce some form of effects on such individual. Hence, the purpose of radiation protection and safety programmes aim to prevent such unnecessary radiation exposures and to control the amount of exposure dose whenever is required. Even though it is necessary to reap the benefits on the use of radiation in the diagnosis of certain illnesses, it is still imperative to maintain the level of dosage to be at its minimum. This helps in reducing the patient’s lifetime risk of developing cancer while undergoing the different types of x-ray examinations.
