Ionizing radiation has many clinical applications and is categorized into diagnostic and therapeutic uses. The administration could be internal or external, based on the categorization. External administration is in the form of X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, mammography, etc. it could also include use of contrast to improve the radiographic images. Internal uses include administration of radiopharmaceuticals for clear nuclear imaging in nuclear medicine.
Along with understanding the technical aspects, being compassionate towards your patients is also important.
e-IRMER is an interactive online training resource supporting the training of NHS healthcare professionals in the Ionizing Radiation (Medical Exposures) Regulations 2000 (amended 2006) (IR(ME)R).
