RADIATION PROTECTION

Radiation protection in diagnostic radiography cannot be over emphasized when the lethal effects of taking excess radiation into the body is taken into cognisance, This is Why concerted effort must be made-by all the people involved in the use of radiation to ensure that the doses received are as small as possible so that the damage which may occur will not constitute a threat to the health of the irradiated person and succeeding generations. It is also in pursuance of this objective that the "Code of Practice for the protection of persons against ionizing radiations arising from medical and Dental Use" was published in 1964
