−	The application of radiation in healthcare offers proven benefits to individuals and society. However, due to the inherent properties of ionising radiation, it may also pose [[Radiation_health_effects\|health risks]] to exposed patients, healthcare providers, and others. Over the past years, the International Commission on Radiological Protection ([[ICRP]]) has provided overall recommendations on [[the System of Radiological Protection]] in [[ICRP Publication 103]], guidance on radiological protection in medicine (e.g. in [[ICRP Publication 73]] Radiological Protection and Safety in Medicine, [[ICRP Publication 105]] Radiological Protection in Medicine, [[ICRP Supporting Guidance 2]] Radiation and your patient - A Guide for Medical Practitioners), and many supporting publications on topic-specific applications in [[Application_of_ionising_radiation_in_healthcare#Diagnostic_Radiology\|diagnostic radiology]], [[Application_of_ionising_radiation_in_healthcare#Interventional_Procedures\|interventional procedures]] and [[Application_of_ionising_radiation_in_healthcare#Radiation_Therapy\|radiation therapy]] (see the [[List of ICRP Publications on Radiological Protection in Healthcare]]).	+	The application of radiation in healthcare offers proven benefits to individuals and society.
