Radiation protection is one of the vital areas that ensure the safety of individuals and the environment from unsafe exposure to ionizing radiation, especially in nuclear medicine applications. This course aims to provide trainees with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively apply the principles of radiation protection in a nuclear medicine environment, with a focus on personal and general protection while handling radioactive materials used in diagnosis and treatment. During this course, participants will learn about the basics of nuclear radiation, its types, health effects, as well as techniques and techniques. Radiation protection and the latest international standards in this field. The course also addresses practical procedures in a nuclear medicine environment, such as radioactive material management, radiation dose monitoring, and dose reduction strategies for workers and patients.

This course has seven modules:

Unit One: Radiation, its quality and characteristics.

Unit Two: Sources of Radiation.

Module Three: Standards.

Unit Four: Types of Radiation Exposure.

Unit Five: Radiation Protection Methods.

Unit Six: Radiation Measurement Methods.

Module Seven: Radiation Protection in Nuclear Medicine.
