[en] Radiological Protection (RP) in a health care setting is an activity intended to protect the professionals involved in Radiodiagnostic, Nuclear Medicine or Radiotherapeutic Oncology procedures, and also the population, against the risks resulting from the use of ionizing radiation because of the impact it could have on them, In our country, application of new regulations to these practices has not involved structural changes in the facilities. Both the technological innovations and the use of new techniques in these types of procedures create a need to reassess the associated risks and to establish specific training programs for these professionals.
