INTRODUCTION
Radiation comes in different forms of energy in motion. Doses of radiation and the area of interest are important considerations when imaging patients, particularly during percutaneous procedures.
METHODS
Reference texts in essential physics, principles of radiation imaging, and radiation dosimetry were reviewed.
RESULTS
Dose, exposure to radiation, and total body radiation delivery are reviewed and graphically tabulated.
CONCLUSION
Each institution will monitor radiation dose delivered to the individual; however, individual physicians have the responsibility to protect themselves and their patients against excessive radiation exposure by knowing appropriate dosages and biological risks.

Review
All procedures involving ionizing radiation, whether diagnostic or therapeutic, are subject to strict regulation, and public concerns have been raised about even the low levels of radiation exposures involved in diagnostic imaging. During the last 2 decades, there are signs of more balanced attitude to ionizing radiation hazards, as opposed to the historical "radiophobia." The linear no-threshold hypothesis, based on the assumption that every radiation dose increment constitutes increased cancer risk for humans, is increasingly debated. In particular, the recent memorandum of the International Commission on Radiological Protection admits that the linear no-threshold hypothesis predictions at low doses (that International Commission on Radiological Protection itself has used and continues to use) are "speculative, unproven, undetectable, and 'phantom'." Moreover, numerous experimental, ecological, and epidemiological studies suggest that low doses of ionizing radiation may actually be beneficial to human health. Although these advances in scientific understanding have not yet yielded significant changes in radiation regulation and policy, we are hopeful such changes may happen in the relatively near future. This article reviews the present status of the low-dose radiation hazard debate and outlines potential opportunities in the field of low-dose radiation therapy.
