Easy-to-read and engaging, this text offers a succinct overview of
radiation biology and protection concepts. It teaches both why and
how to protect yourself and patients from ionizing radiation.
Emphasis is placed on integrating the theory of radiation
protection as seen in radiobiology with radiation protection as it
should be practiced in the clinical education setting. The text
discusses cell structure, the direct and indirect effects of
radiation at the cellular level, biological effects of radiation
exposure, and protection practices for both patients and personnel.
Current regulations and recommendations are in compliance with the
educational requirements established by the American Society of
Radiologic Technologists (ASRT).
