Understanding Dose Principles
Students must understand dose, exposure, and shielding. These principles guide safe imaging practice. Dose awareness protects patients and staff.
Applying ALARA
ALARA requires minimizing exposure while maintaining image quality. Students learn to adjust technique and shielding. Applying ALARA improves safety.
Recognizing High Risk Populations
Children and pregnant patients require special precautions. Students must learn appropriate modifications. Awareness improves patient care.
Using Monitoring Tools
Dosimeters track occupational exposure. Students should learn how to read and interpret them. Monitoring supports long term safety.
