Why it's Important

Radiation safety is more than just gowning up in lead aprons, wearing gloves, and putting on a thyroid collar. In order to truly adhere to the principle of ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) you must be a master at radiology technique and have an in-depth understanding of the principles of radiation.
