It is important that nuclear cardiologists understand the effects of medical radiation, especially as the use of medical radiation has implications for the public. There are three basic principles regarding the medical use of ionizing radiation, which can be employed by medical practitioners to ensure that they use ionizing radiation appropriately. It is also important to understand the two different types of effects of ionizing radiation; i.e., stochastic and deterministic effects, but the details surrounding these effects are disputed. Clinicians who use ionizing radiation carry a great burden of responsibility because the usage of medical radiation is increasing rapidly, and in developed countries more than half of the public radiation burden is due to medical radiation. Thus, we are responsible not only for the effects of medical radiation on patients, but also on the public as a whole. In addition, medical practitioners should also be aware of the effects of occupational radiation, which are frequently overlooked. These key issues are reviewed briefly in this article.
