Can the risk of deterministic effects be completely eliminated in radiation procedures?

In radiation procedures, the risk of deterministic effects can be minimized but not entirely eliminated. Deterministic effects, which include radiation burns and organ damage, occur only once a certain threshold of radiation exposure has been surpassed. While best practices, protective measures, and proper techniques can significantly lower the risk of these effects, there is always a possibility of exposure exceeding safe limits due to factors like human error, equipment malfunction, or unexpected situations. Therefore, while the risk can be reduced through careful planning and adherence to safety protocols, it cannot be completely eradicated. This understanding underscores the importance of constantly monitoring and optimizing radiation safety measures rather than assuming that risk can be entirely nullified.
