- Abstract
Much of the biological effects caused by radiation appear due to prolonged exposure. Each cell in the organism has it own tolerance threshold, in this way the dangers may appear in different degrees. The effects of ionizing radiation in the tissues depends of the type of radiation and the tissue that will be infiltrated. The effects ranging from hematopoietic system, which can course with anemia, to nervous central system, which can result in death for collapse, for example. Each imaging method emits a different amount of radiation, thus, radiologist’s physicians and techniques in this area are trained to limit the patient exposure for a safe dose to make the correct diagnosis. If the radiation is used indiscriminately, the excess of radiation exposure may have a carcinogenic effects and mainly teratogenic in pregnant women. Regardless of the harm caused by exposure to radiation its benefits are important for the diagnosis of many diseases and to the advancement of medicine if used consciously and within regulatory standards. This literature review aims to evaluate the impact of radiation on patients undergoing imaging exams.
