Immediately following the discovery of x rays they were applied to medical diagnosis and therapy. These early medical applications were soon shown to be accompanied by rather severe biologic responses and injuries. This resulted in the development of standards. Radiation standards were developed to properly control the application of x rays in medicine by controlling equipment and how it was used. Control of personnel occurred later with first certification and then licensure.
在X射线被发现后，它们立即被应用于医学诊断和治疗。这些早期的医学应用很快就被证明伴随着相当严重的生物反应和损伤。这导致了标准的制定。通过控制设备及其使用方式，制定了辐射标准以适当地控制X射线在医学中的应用。对人员的控制后来才出现，先是认证，然后是许可。
