INTERNAL RADIATION DOSIMETRY
This tutorial will discuss many aspects of understanding radiation dosimetry. It will discuss the importance of the history of radiation exposures and why this led to ALARA and the current acceptable limits of this exposure for both personnel and patients. The tutorial will talk about the different calculations and formulas for how to evaluate these exposures. Also, we will discuss how different behaviors and disease expose people to various risks, and the types of calculated risks received by different radiographic procedures.
