      <abstract>
        <p>Radiations are extensively used for diagnostic imaging and treatment. The primary health concern for healthcare facilities is radiation safety. Patients, physicians, and staff in numerous fields, including radiology, interventional cardiology, and surgery, are concerned about radiation safety due to their increased risk of occupational exposure. Occupational exposure is the outcome of radiation exposure at work. Radiation from diagnostic imaging modalities such as computed tomography, mammography, and nuclear imaging are a modest contributor to the healthcare workers__ampersandsign#39; cumulative dose exposures. Any scattered radiation exposure can be dangerous for patients and medical personnel. In order to lessen the detrimental effects of ionizing radiation, radiation protection is critical to prevent unneeded radiation exposure. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about occupational exposure of scatter radiation and proper protective methods. Fluoroscopic imaging, which employs x-rays to produce dynamic and cinematic functional imaging, is the source of the majority of radiation exposure in medical settings. Healthcare workers are exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation during various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Chronic exposure to low doses of radiation can have many negative effects on human health, such as cataracts and, among the most serious an increased risk of certain types of cancer. The hazards of radiation exposure among healthcare workers are well-documented in literature. To lower radiation exposure, protective equipment is vital. A lead apron, thyroid shield, and lead glasses are essential parts of protective equipment. Implementation of the guidelines for safety and protection from radiation are needed.&#13;
