Selected aspects of patient health in nuclear medicine

Nuclear radiation plays an important role in nuclear medicine. The health risk to patients undergoing screening only concerns the fact of gamma-ray emission, of course, the magnitude of this risk is dose-dependent. The purpose of the study is to assess patient safety in ionizing radiation studies in...
