Abstract

<p>In recent years, cardiovascular diseases related to atherosclerosis are on the rise due to the increase in lifestyle-related diseases and aging population. CT and catheterization, which are essential for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, use X-ray irradiation, and therefore, the effects of radiation exposure not only on patients but also on medical workers should be taken into consideration. This paper outlines the effects of radiation on the human body and its biological dosimetry, and discusses the extent to which radiation actually has biological effects on patients and operators.</p>
