Radiation Physics: Understanding the nature of ionizing radiation and its interactions with matter. Dosimetry: Study and use of devices to measure radiation exposure for both patients and operators. Active and Passive Protection: Techniques to reduce exposure, such as distance, exposure time, and the use of shielding (e.g., aprons, goggles). Legislation and Regulations: Knowledge of national and international radiation protection laws (e.g., Legislative Decree 101/2020 and subsequent amendments), which regulate the use of radiological equipment. Clinical Applications: How to apply safety procedures when performing dental radiographic examinations, such as intraoral and panoramic x-rays. Emergency Management: Procedures to follow in the event of accidents or accidental exposure to radiation.
