title: [Evaluation of occupational radiation exposure in veterinary radiographic diagnosis (a review)].
abstract: A short review is given about fundamental dose units, the carcinogenic risk coefficients of ionizing radiation, the radiation exposure and potential radiation effects in the veterinary practice. The fundamentals of radiation protection comprise, inter alia, a modern and efficient X-ray and protection equipment, radiation safety training, radiation detection devices and, especially, restricting the size of the primary beam.
