RADIATION PROTECTION SYSTEMS
OPTIMIZATION of Dose
❖ Based on the concept of ALARA (As Low As
Reasonably Achievable)
❖ For any given radiation source within a practice,
the magnitude of the individual doses, the number
of people exposed, and the likelihood of incurring
exposures should be kept to as low as reasonably
achievable, taking economic and social factors into
consideration.
