X-Rays has become integral and indispensable part of health care diagnosis and intervention. Intervention procedures in Orthopedics surgery now mostly performed under image intensifiers (C-Arm) which involve the risks of occupational overexposure of radiation to the patients and health care personnel. The principles of radiation protection are helpful in keeping radiation exposure just adequate for diagnostic and intervention procedures. Regular surveillance of protective apparel is necessary for longevity of safety. It is responsibility of all OT personnel to know and implement radiation safety. Each situation involving X-ray radiation should include justification of the procedure, minimum radiation exposure just adequate for diagnostic and interventional procedures.
