HLTDEN007 - Case Study: Applying Radiation Biology & Protection

This assignment presents a case study related to HLTDEN007, focusing on the application of radiation biology and protection principles within a dental practice setting. It includes a reference list with sources covering various aspects of radiological science, radiation protection, and related technologies such as X-ray imaging and dosimetry. The case study requires reflection on learning and research, potentially drawing from previously completed units of competency to formulate comprehensive responses related to radiation safety in dentistry. The provided reference list helps in understanding the principles of radiation and its effects.
