Radiation safety : the student perspective
Radiation exposure has been shown to impact nearly every system in the human body, with serious health effects linked to ionizing radiation. Adherence to safety precautions is inconsistent due to the lack of standardized protocols and clear guidelines from professional and governing agencies. The …
