Since the discovery of X-rays, medical imaging has been one of its most important applications. In the course of years, understanding of the potentially harmful effects of radiation on tissue has substantially increased as a result of experience and scientific studies. This has led to the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), the organisation that is now regarded as the most authoritative in the field of information on radiation and radiation protection. In most countries the law governing radiation is based on the 3 principles of the ICRP: justification, ALARA and dosage limits. For the Dutch situation, these are the Nuclear Energy Act (Kernenergiewet) and the Radiation Protection Decree (Besluit stralingsbescherming). The Practice Guidelines on Radiology are available for the practical implementation of the regulations. By working according to the Practice Guidelines, the dentist satisfies the legal regulations, but, more importantly, he can apply X-ray diagnostics in a manner that is safe for him, the dental team, the patients and all other visitors of the practice.
自X射线被发现以来，医学成像一直是其最重要的应用之一。多年来，由于经验和科学研究，人们对辐射对组织潜在有害影响的认识大幅提高。这促成了国际放射防护委员会（ICRP）的成立，该组织如今被视为辐射及辐射防护信息领域最具权威性的组织。在大多数国家，管理辐射的法律基于ICRP的三项原则：正当性、尽可能低的合理可达到水平（ALARA）和剂量限制。就荷兰的情况而言，相关法律是《核能法》（Kernenergiewet）和《辐射防护令》（Besluit stralingsbescherming）。《放射学实践指南》可用于法规的实际实施。通过按照《实践指南》开展工作，牙医既满足了法律法规要求，但更重要的是，他能够以对自己、牙科团队、患者以及诊所的所有其他访客都安全的方式应用X射线诊断技术。
