The main focus of this paper is on the historical development of safety standards in the use of radiation or radioactive materials in medicine. However, to provide better understanding and perspective on this history, it must be interwoven with major events and advancements in the development and use of radiation, particularly in the field of medicine. Since this history, as well as that of major events that stimulated the development of radiation protection standards, is extensive, only a very brief overview can be given here. Thus, a sufficient list of references is also provided to allow further examination of detailed historical documentation, and to provide an easier entry into further research. Also, some identification of individuals who have made important contributions to the development of standards, but who are not widely identified in either the relevant standards or the historical literature, is included. This will aid the serious historian in examining files of organizations to uncover facts or rationale that could better explain historical events or developments.
本文的主要关注点是医学中辐射或放射性物质使用安全标准的历史发展。然而，为了更好地理解这段历史并提供相关视角，必须将其与辐射发展和使用中的重大事件及进展交织在一起，尤其是在医学领域。由于这段历史以及刺激辐射防护标准发展的重大事件的历史颇为广泛，在此只能给出非常简要的概述。因此，还提供了一份充足的参考文献列表，以便进一步查阅详细的历史文献，并为深入研究提供更便捷的切入点。此外，还提及了一些虽对标准发展做出重要贡献但在相关标准或历史文献中未被广泛提及的个人。这将有助于严谨的历史学家查阅各组织的档案，以发掘能更好解释历史事件或发展的事实或依据。
