Healthcare workers conducting X-rays, interventional surgery, and radiation therapy are frequently exposed to ionizing radiation from the equipment involved, resulting in occupational radiation exposure for many frontline radiation workers. Much of this energy comes in the form of gamma radiation emitted by X-ray tubes and fluoroscopy units, or from handling radioactive material in departments such […]

Medical professionals who regularly conduct diagnostic imaging, interventional surgery, and other essential procedures are frequently exposed to ionizing radiation emitted by the equipment involved—an exposure classified as occupational radiation exposure for frontline radiation workers.  The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 37 million nuclear medicine procedures, 7.5 million radiotherapy treatments, and 3.6 million […]

What Is The Most Common Eye Effect Of Radiation Exposure? The most common eye effect of radiation exposure is the development of cataracts.
