MEDICAL EXPOSURE AND STRATEGY OF ITS PROPHYLAXIS

Abstract

The characteristic of a modern medical exposure of the population is submitted. The features of the using of ionizing irradiation sources in medicine, including patients' exposure doses, are presented. The medicine exposure of the critical groups of the population, including children and women, is considered. The accent is made on most dose forming kinds of X-ray examinations: computed tomography, special and intervention researches and also nuclear medicine. The aspects of wide use of ionizing radiation sources in medicine are mentioned: in mass screening photofluorography X-ray and in dental practice. The necessity of amplification of radiation protection for light potential increase of medical exposure is shown at the technological revolution. The main attention is given to pharmacological protection of patients.
