Since the discovery of radiation more than 100 years ago, the philosophy of radiation protection has gradually evolved from prevention of deterministic effects to decreasing the risk of malignancy. The present radiation protection standards are based on principles of justification, optimization and dose limitation. In this article, we discuss the evolution of international standards, current standards and ALARA principle.
