What safety measures are taken to protect patients during medical irradiation?
During medical irradiation, several safety measures are taken to protect patients. Precise dose calculation ensures minimal exposure while achieving therapeutic effects. Shielding devices like lead aprons and collimators help reduce unnecessary radiation to surrounding tissues. Advanced imaging techniques and computer-guided targeting enhance accuracy, minimizing damage to healthy cells. Strict regulatory guidelines ensure safe radiation levels, and patient monitoring helps track exposure. These measures make medical irradiation effective while prioritizing patient safety in diagnosis and treatment.
