Effects of Radiation on Patient?s Health during Imaging Diagnostics

Archana Singh Sikarwar, Yamuna Rajoo

Radiation from imaging diagnostic had caused many detrimental effects to patients. Imaging diagnostic is the largest manmade source of radiation exposure. Dose- response models have aided the study of effects of radiation from imaging diagnostic. Certain imaging tools have caused more radiation hazard towards patients such as computed tomography. Non-ionizing radiation imaging modalities have represented safer alternative. Medical practitioners should adopt as low as reasonably achievable principle during imaging diagnostic to avoid health hazard to patients.
