CASCON, Adriana. Risks Associated with Ionizing RadiationsRisks Associated with Ionizing Radiations. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2009, vol.77, n.2, pp.123-128. ISSN 1850-3748.
Medical use of ionizing radiations implies certain risks which are widely balanced by their diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. Nevertheless, knowledge about these risks and how to diagnose and prevent them minimizes their disadvantages and optimizes the quality and safety of the method. This article describes the aspects related to skin dose (nonstochastic effects), the importance of dose limit, the physiopathology of biological damage and, finally, the prevention measures.
