RESUMO
The medical use of ionizing radiation accounts for almost half of the radiation exposure accumulated by people living in the United States each year. Although risks are associated with using radiation, materials and techniques are available to protect patients and medical personnel from excess radiation. This article reviews the nature of radiation, its effects on matter, and how shielding can help keep exposure levels as low as reasonably achievable.
