Abstract
Radiation protection is concerned with reducing the dose to patients, workers, and other third parties such as comforters/carers and members of the public. The latter include workers in hospitals and clinics that are not recognised as radiation workers. This paper focuses on protection of workers and other third parties from radiation that arises from conduct of diagnostic imaging procedures.
