Title: [Risk assessment in diagnostic radiation dosimetry].

Bionegative effects of low doses have not been demonstrated in individuals or by epidemiological data. Nonetheless, in every case involving radiodiagnostic or nuclear medicine procedures, a benefit-versus-risk analysis is necessary. Therefore, knowledge of both radiobiological aspects and all the above assumptions, hypotheses and simplifications are necessary in order to optimize radiological protection in diagnostic radiology.Read More
