The discussion concerns radiation safety and its absorbed limits for workers who operate in radiation-prone situations and for patients. Low radiation doses are experienced by healthcare personnel who work in radiation-prone areas. The thyroid is the organ that is most impacted by this exposure. Thyroid stimulating hormone levels and radiation exposure over five years are significantly correlated. Radiation exposure can harm DNA and affect the DNA repair system. The healing process may be slowed down by radiation exposure received during diagnosis or therapy. Health professionals operating in radiation-prone areas should use a variety of protective techniques to either avoid or experience fewer health issues. Radiation plays a crucial role in patient diagnosis and treatment, which is why the As Low as Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle was implemented in federal regulations. This principle is designed to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to reduce radiation exposure to the minimum level possible. ALARA means avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure followed by three basic protective measures: time, distance, and shielding. Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) governs nuclear and radiation facilities and operations to make sure that using nuclear energy and ionizing radiation in India does not cause an excessive risk to public health and the environment. International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommended dose limits for workers, trainees, and the general public. Dose limits help to ensure that no person is exposed to an excessive amount of radiation in normal, planned situations. On the other hand, Magnetic Resonance (MR) safety is also very important in radiology departments or centers, American College of Radiology (ACR) recommended the MR sites should be divided into four zones and Microorganisms that can be transmitted by radiology procedures. Radiographers need to have adequate knowledge and practices of infection control.
