Application of ionising radiation in healthcare is basic and routine in contemporary medicine. Benefits to patients from such application have been established beyond doubt ([[ICRP Publication 105|ICRP Publication 105 ]] Radiological Protection in Medicine]]). It is difficult to imagine a healthcare system without modern diagnostic imaging and image-guided interventional procedures. A survey of policy leaders in internal medicine rated computed tomography (CT) imaging as one of the main healthcare innovations in the 20th century (Fuchs and Sox, 2001[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11558715]). The applications of ionizing ionising radiation in healthcare are grouped as followinginclude:
:1.1 [[Diagnostic radiology]]
:1.6 [[Veterinary medicine]]
