Occupational Exposure and Adverse Effects in the Radiologic Interventional Setting.

Professionals who work in an occupation involving radiological procedures can be at risk for exceeding annual radiation dose limits and the resulting long-term adverse health effects it causes. However, overexposure to radiation and the resulting adverse effects might be avoided with proper radiation protection, increased radiation knowledge, and adherence to safety practices. The literature supports this approach, suggesting ways for those most at risk for radiation-related health illnesses to prevent them.
