The primary aim of radiological protection is to provide an appropriate standard of protection for people and the environment without unduly limiting the beneficial practices giving rise to radiation exposure. [[ICRP Publication 103]] has formulated a set of fundamental principles of radiological protection that apply to radiation sources and to the individuals being exposed. These principles are applicable to radiological protection in medicine. ICRP has provided recommendations for protection in medicine through [[ICRP Publication 105|ICRP Publication 105: Radiological Protection in Medicine]], [[ICRP Supporting Guidance 2|ICRP Supporting Guidance 2: Radiation and your patient - A Guide for Medical Practitioners]] and [[ICRP Publication 73|ICRP Publication 73: Radiological Protection and Safety in Medicine]].
