Ionising radiation has been used in healthcare since the discovery of x rays over a 100 years ago. Since then, ionising radiation applications and technologies have evolved to become an important part of contemporary medicine, with hundreds of millions of people benefiting from diagnostic radiology, interventional procedures, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine every year. In addition, radiation is widely used in biomedical research and veterinary medicine.
