Radiation Dose Absorption In The Human Body: A Comprehensive Analysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Radiation exposure is a prevalent concern in modern society due to its various applications in medicine, industry, and technology. This research paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of radiation dose absorption in the human body. The paper covers the sources of radiation, its interaction with human tissues, methods of measuring radiation dose, and the potential health effects of excessive exposure. By understanding the principles of radiation dose absorption, individuals can make informed decisions regarding safety measures and risk mitigation strategies
